Christmas Ornament #4


This is the one remaining ornament I have that my son Jake made me in kindergarten.  You can still faintly smell cinnamon.  I also had a Christmas tree but it crumbled over the years.  This cinnamon angel ornament is 28 years old. She's one tough cookie!

  1. I love cinnamon. I might be tempted to eat it. But I know Freddie and Gloria would never think of doing that. I am enjoying seeing all your ornaments.

  7. Don't you love that you can still smell it just a bit. Bet if you close your eyes, you can still remember the day he brought it home from school.

  16. That is a lovely keepsake ornament - even if it is so tough. I'm surprised some doggy hasn't tried to nibble it :-) Thank you for the Christmas card too and I hope ours reaches Fred & Gloria very soon - woofs and licks from Magic xx
