Holiday Destruction

Most of my ornaments are from my childhood. My mom started collecting ornaments for us from our first Christmas on, and when we got married she them to us in a box. I love all of my ornaments and the trip down memory lane that they provide for me. SO, I decided to start this tradition for my children. I carefully select ornaments for them each year. The obligatory "Baby's First Christmas" and from there on it is tailored to my child's interests. So, we have Stanley (pictured above) who is a Disney Cartoon character for all of you who do not know Stanley and his GREAT BIG BOOK OF EVERYTHING. Stanley has had an amputation(from Dr. Jude) or a L AKA ( left above the knee amputation for us Nurses). Poor Stanley, and my other poor ornaments. The bottom ornament use to have a man on a sleigh (if you look closely enough you will see the glue inside the ring). Where is the man? Only Abductor Jude would know. My dead cat had a ornament in his memory, this orament could not be pictured due to his gross injury. He was decapitated(per murderer Jude). No glue could fix my decapitated cat. So I find a big parental no no rolling off my tongue, WE CAN'T HAVE ANYTHING NICE... YOU JUST RUIN IT! Sound familiar? Sounds a lot like what my parents said at times, which makes it a ... I don't want to say what my parents said.... again they just escape your tongue without thought. So no glue could fix the cat ornament, but possibly Stanley can have a prosthetic leg with glue? (We have yet to see what Lily can do to an ornament). In conclusion, I will continue to buy the ornaments annually and the injured oraments will be a part of the memory lane for my children.
