I have a special relationship with just about every ornament on our tree. Most were either made by someone in the family or gifted by someone close to my heart. If I had to choose just one, though, I'd have to say my current favorite is this wax snowman that was my dad's when he was a little boy. I love how the little details are almost worn away, but not quite. He is simultaneously fragile and strong, and has held up bravely and well to time and the elements. He has spent over 60 Christmases in our family, and I like to think he captures all of the best of our holidays and stores them away in his little self every year. One day he will be on Sophie's tree, giving her all the joy of memory and family that Christmas is meant to be.
