A pretty ornament for our Christmas tree

Our son in Ireland wanted some suggestions for Christmas. I mentioned a catalogue that had a range of personalised gifts. When we returned from Melbourne, there was a small parcel at the front door. It’s the Christmas tree ornament that you can see in the photo. It’s very cute with the two koalas dressed in their Christmas hats. On the other side of the disc is ‘Christmas 2022’. Damian and Lorraine are the names of our son and his wife. Perhaps I shouldn’t have opened the parcel but I couldn’t tell who it was from by the packaging. And at least now I can display it over Christmas.

@JudyEv I am looking and I agree, the koala on the right has something more feminine.

It is pretty, isn't it? The two koalas are almost identical but I can't help but think that the one on the right is the girl. I think the eyes are slightly different and makes it look more feminine.

It's all there - we just have to use it and you helped your son with it. It has a personal touch indeed

It can be hard to fight the urge to open the prezzies! I have managed to hold out... so far!

When I was about ten (and in those years you really only got one 'real' present), I found a book in the bottom of Mumm's wardrobe and read it there and then. Of course, come Christmas Day, I had to pretend to be surprised. I never EVER felt the need to open prezzies early after that.

You need one with Nico on it. Unless you get two more cats and call them Damian and Lorraine.

Nothing like a new ornament for the tree. It's fun to collect them over the years as some have attached memories to them depending on where you were when you bought them. That's a beauty!

It would be a shame to have opened it on Boxing Day then have a wait a whole year to display it in its rightful place.
