This ornament may make everyone cringe, when they realize just what it is...note the year embroidered on it and then look at the shape and folds/pleats in it. And, it is what it is...a miniature face mask depicting our plight in 2020 with the Covid Pandemic. I decided that I would make small face masks for each of my ornament recipients that year...as I felt that we needed to look back on that year and in years to come be thankful that the pandemic was over! I know that these masks didn't just hang on Christmas trees but some Santa and elf decorations wore them for protection against germs that Christmas season! We will remember that year+ with trepidition, but are now thankful that it is in our past! I'll try to have a more pleasant tale tomorrow!!! I have kept busy with tasks around the house...a little cooking (I made one of those turkey casseroles...so one less frozen package of turkey in the freezer! I also made some homemade hot fudge sauce, as I love to eat my Christmas tradition of peppermint ice cream with some hot fudge on it...a little indulgence of the season! Both hit the spot for my late lunch/early supper today! I managed to get the last of my cards into my mailbox before the postal carrier came today...so all cards mailed out and packages are off. I still have some cards that I will give with gifts and some that I will hand out to local friends. I made a list and have the cards ready to sign and put in the envelopes and put names on the envelopes. I have washed and dried and put away a load of clothes. And, have gone to and come home from Bible study so the day is drawing to a close. It's been a good day. I plan to watch a Christmas movie and work on ornaments this evening and maybe stitch a little before going to sleep. 'Tis the season! To be continued! Be safe! Be well! Be cautious!
