Every year there is at least one ornament that suffers a tragic death. This year was to be no different.
Troi was helping me take down the tree and was trying to take several down at the same time. His little arms were full and this one had to be sacrificed. One to save the many.
He thought it was my favorite. So he was upset that he broke it. I had to remind myself not to over react. I was upset only that there was broken glass all over the carpet - still not a biggie...but we three (Troi, Kai and myself) were barefooted.
*sigh*
So, my dear reader, this beautiful, handcrafted bulb, not one of my favorites, but one of the more expensive ($6) has drifted off to bulb heaven where it will once again be made whole. It lived a very good life. The best a bulb could live.
I wonder which one will have it's number called next year.

Oh noooooo!!!! Bless your Mom Heart for not overreacting (although that was definitely warranted) to a treasured item being broken by your little one.
I loved the "one to save the many" notation, you at least have a wonderful sense of humor when most people would lose it!
With a big tailwagging dog in the house (and my big klutzy self) I ended up buying some very interesting bulbs at Ikea about three years ago....they look like glass but you can actually BOUNCE them. My mom has far more sense and actually puts her treasured ornaments in her curio cabinet. But what the heck....they're MADE TO BE DISPLAYED.
Life is short, and apparently it's short for an ornament as well, LOL. Time to shop for more beautiful adornments....let me know when you want to go!
