Ornaments

100 shiny ornaments hanging from the tree
A collection of memories and love
Precious patchwork pieces of home, stitched together by time and family.
Shiney green and red reflections of smiling faces on happy children who don’t need to pretend to be patient
Relaxed relatives sip contentedness
Resting in the warmth of family

100 sweet ornaments bounce firelight into far corners of forgotten innocence
Nostalgic memories of simpler times
Look around
They are simple now
Hollow bobbles hold the essence of laughter
Its amazing they don’t burst!
Crackers revealing crowns of colour
We wear them together
Love is the clue
Binding us and reminding us of cycles of joy

100 unique ornaments each telling a story
Snow day escapades and stuffed turkey feasts
Satsuma champagne mornings with the fragrance of mince
This is a celebration of bounty
Please
Invite those in need to share
Spreading joy is in the air
Along with the sizzling smell of legendary leftovers
Cranberry turkey combinations with stuffing to make a sandwich of champions
A special Christmas treat

100 hanging ornaments dangle under the tree
Overflowing with gifts from close friends and distant family
Knick knacks paddiwacks and little toys that go click clack
They are passed around with smiles and excitement
In the sparkling lights, we think of our friends
Keep lists of who sent them
Must remember to send them a thank you
I miss you
Hope to catch up soon
We think of those who are not present and salute them with a toast
We will always miss you

Long Boxing Day walks with meaningful talks
We find comfort with friends
Warmth with family

100 small ornaments ready to hang
The tree is up
The fire is lit
Christmas is here
