“Ornament, ornament, ornament!”

My sister, Daniella, is ten years younger than me as well as six years younger than our brother, Gerry.   We were old sufficient to keep in mind the day our parents walked into the home with a new baby.  She had a fine pair of lungs.

Later that night, my ten year-old self was annoyed.  sure Daniella was an adorable infant as well as whatever however hello, I had institution in the morning.  I couldn’t sleep with all that noise.  I may have stated something to my mom who provided me the traditional Caribbean mom “you much better stop with your nonsense” face.  I stopped.

I was in high institution when Daniella started kindergarten.  Laning Avenue elementary institution had a Santa’s Workshop where youngsters might buy Christmas gifts for their household as well as friends.

Gerry as well as I would take our gifts from under the tree, unwrap them as well as state loudly, “ornament, ornament, ornament!” as every year from kindergarten to fifth grade that is what Daniella provided us.  My parents still have those ornaments.

I believe it started with Gerry, who said, “oh look, it’s one more ornament. Ornament, ornament, ornament!” I have no concept why we discovered this hysterically funny.

Years later during the very first Christmas day we spent with my future sister-in-law as well as brother-in-law, I busted out with the ornament thing (it truly was an ornament) as well as my siblings as well as I lost it.  My in-laws to be glanced at each other, “what’s wrong with these folks?”

I don’t have space in my apartment for even a Charlie brown tree, however I might buy an ornament or two.

Here are a few that caught my eye:
