For day nine I choose a copper ornament in the shape of the Upper Peninsula of Michigan (With a tiny spot for the trolls who live under the bridge). I chose this for Saturday because as a kid growing up we often went home to the UP for Christmas. We’re I still a child, we … More 12 Ornaments – Day 9
Well, the world didn’t end last night so I have a little catching up to do. Today I give you the White House Christmas Ornament from 2009.

It’s day six and its a Wednesday. In Baptist circles, Wednesday means church, so I give you…a Duke Divinity Ornament. Duke also played basketball tonight and won big, so this one is pulling double symbolic duty. Thanks for watching along with me. Merry Christmas.

Happy Sunday friends. Today, I offer you one of the church ornaments from the tree. This one is pewter, cast by a member of Fbc Mount Airy, and it is of the old sanctuary, current fellowship hall. It’s always nice to have a church ornament, so for Sunday, enjoy a little First Baptist Mount Airy.
Here’s day two. It’s a gift we got from a loved one a while back and it is totally Texan. It’s heavy. It’s silver. It’s got the state outline and a flag. There’s a trinity of Texas symbolism in there somewhere. So, for a day as big as Saturday, I give you the Texas ornament.
