Great piece. As a fellow graduate of sitting at “the small table,” I also loved the photo.

I have a Shiny Brite box of ornaments of my mom's, exactly like the one pictured!

Thanks so much for this post. I enjoyed learning more about the history of Christmas decorations and I loved seeing the picture of your family

I have been thinking about your comment referring to those who voted on the direction you might take in your writing. I didn’t vote. I confess, I treasure your UC/Hyde Park missives but I thought it would be selfish not to encourage you to follow your passion. I will follow you as you sort this out, good luck.
