One of my favourite parts of Christmas is decorating the tree. Trying to find that perfect branch to compliment each individual and unique ornament, my family and I spend hours on hours making it just right.
After all is said and done, we step back and allow ourselves to be enveloped in the glow; nodding in agreement that yes, this is the best year yet.
If you had the ability to design your perfect ornament, what would it be? Let your imagination run wild.
I'm giving you absolute artistic license on these three templates below. Don't allow logic to influence your decision. What do you mean you think it'd be too heavy for the tree? Pfft. Perhaps in your world it is. Not in mine. :D
What I'm trying to say is this. Anything goes. ...pending you follow the rules below; of course. ;)
