For some reason, I seem to have a lot of horse themed ornaments.

I don’t know what this spiky flower is supposed to represent, but I love it. It is one of the first ornaments to go on the tree each year, and one of the first to come off. (I try to handle the fragile ornaments when I am fresh, so I am not rushing to get done.)

This is one of my favorite ornaments, and one of the ones that I have had the longest. Years ago, I had this vision that someday I would have a tree with just white lights and gold ornaments, but then where would I put this little fellow?

Our first year in Colorado, I was appalled when I realized that the sun sets at 3:30 in the afternoon during December.
