Cute Snow Man X's Tree Ornament which was hand crafted in Europe, mouth-blown in tempered glass and hand painted.  It cost $8/each.



Last year Christmas eve, I was having a peace and quiet Holy night and enjoying a glass of red wine.  I heard a lot of walking noises in my drive way and souded like many people were there.  I wondered what was going on.  Suddenly beautiful melody of X's carols were singing in front door.  I knew I were hit by a group of Church chorus members.  I was so embarrassed to open the door to say "Thank you".

I was confused why my house was the one targeted in the block.  Later I figured it all out.  Most houses in my block had either X's decoration in front yard or X's tree inside.  There were about 3 houses had none of them.  Of course, mine is one of them.  The one to my right side is a family from southeast Asia who worship the idols every day and of course don't celebrate X's.  The other to left side is a family from Lebanon and is a professor in college.  I think they are moslem and that's why don't do it either.  Well, I go to church but I don't really get into X's decor too much for 2 reasons.  First, I was too lazy to do any X's decor.  Secondly I knew no Santa Claus and X's exist in Bible.  (Sorry this may spoil others' Holiday spirit).  Anyway, mine was a very lucky one got chosen to have special X's carols.  They thought I am not a church goer and want to give Holiday joy to me.

This year I have to pull out X's tree from storage and put it up in time for Holiday to avoid the same situation.  This is the most important Holiday here like our Chinese New Year.  Wish everyone the best.  Joy and Peace to the world.  Feliz Navidad!  Here you go...
