I bet we all have one. A special Christmas ornament that we keep wrapped up in lots of tissue paper... right on top of all the others in a box that spends most of the year either in the basement or in the attic. Something passed down from our mother or our grandmother. An ornament that we handle with a little more care... and a little more awe... than the rest of our treasures. The one that gets a "front and center" spot in our holiday decor. For me, it's an old fashioned, hollow-sculpted ball that my grandmother used to hang on her tree. When I take it out of its paper nest, it always brings me memories of her... and of the few Christmas days I spent with her in my mother's girlhood home. My grandmother lived 800 miles away from us... but when I hold that ornament in my hand... she is standing right beside me... and I can envision her smile. Ultra Fractal... with the trees imported from Apophysis. I sincerely hope that all of you experience something special as you unwrap your way through those boxes of decorations and recall the happiness of holidays gone by... Thanks for everything... you guys and gals are very special to me... Hugs! Helen :)
