To Hell With Christmas!

The best part about decorating for Christmas is sorting through the ornaments we have accumulated over the years. Some of the most cherished ones belonged to grandma Millie, others were regulars on the trees from my childhood and are now loved by my kids.

This is one of our favorites, just for the sheer randomness of it. A few decades ago, somebody, somewhere was making ornaments out of egg shells. And she, (because of course it was a she) decided to do something really unexpected. "I know"...She mused..."I'll make a devil ornament. A girl devil ornament!" We think she's sinfully wonderful!

Absolutely wonderful. I love wild things on my tree. I still have all these old Happy Meal toys that my brother gave to me as presents back when he was little (now he's 42).

She is so cute! She must be itsy bitsy to fit in the eggshell. I love her and her cavalier demeanor. Very un-christmas!
