Wow, what a story! The details were divine- "The apartment smelled like cigarettes and bacon grease. We bought our Christmas tree from a beachfront lot, which seemed weird but cool." So much delicious detail in so few words.

Thank you, Amie. I just put an ornament from 1979 on the tree! The year I was born.

Your gift for summoning the past in so few words is a continuing delight, Amie!

No Santa ornaments at our house, just a few ancient menorahs and dreidels.

We have ornaments that date back to my childhood, but none with quite that back story. I like your cowboy Santa!
