Default A Couple of Our Christmas Ornaments

Merry Christmas dps! I know you've all seen these before. Taken on Thanksgiving...traditionally we set the tree on that day in hopes of building the anticipation in the kids.

Cool! I like all the color in the first one. I guess Christmas trees offer a whole new realm of photographic possibilities!

Hi Duane - judging from these closeups you must have a beautiful decorated tree .. who's the racer fan in the house? .. my grandson, who is 9yrs old, is a Nascar fanatic ... mentioned a car number, and he'll tell you who the driver is and some of the sponsors name on the car .. they live in NC and my son takes him to all the major races down there

Hayward, I am the nascar fan! The car of Dale Jr was givin to my youngest son by his uncle a couple years ago. My brother is a big fan and collects all the die cast scaled cars. Thanks Hayward, Merry Christmas
