2004-12-13 - 9:56 p.m.� On Sunday we put up our Christmas tree, and decorated it with the usual mishmash of handmade ornaments. A lot of these ornaments are getting pretty aged now, and given the fact that some of them were made out of cottonballs and construction paper by chubby little preschoolers' hands over 20 years ago, it's a wonder so many of them have held up as well as they have. We found something strange this year when we started pulling out the ornaments. About half a dozen of them, various types, made from various materials at different times, are missing one eye. It's not a big mystery how it happened; craft glue was never meant to last this long, and occasionally pieces get unstuck. Still, it was verging on the absurb as we kept pulling out these little one eyed things, one after another. I suggested we put them away this year, but my mother snatched them up and hung them on the tree. She said we don't discriminate against the one eyed ornaments in our house. My brother, who took an interest in decorating for the first time since he was a small child, gleefully announced that they were pirate reindeer and rag dolls and kittycat ornaments. My mother said if I had a real problem with it, I should go out and buy some new googly eyes to glue onto them. It's not a bad idea, though somehow I'm far more tempted to fashion little eyepatches for them.
