I think this little Christmas tree ornament/figurine is cute. I don't remember where it came from, but it's one of the oldest ornaments I have, from my childhood. The reindeer in the background is newer.

Last year, I ordered a Christmas tree bag, to be able to store my tree without having to take it apart and take the light strands off it. That made putting it up this year considerably easier. I also had help putting the ornaments on it.
But afterwards, something didn't feel quite right. The tree seemed sort of bare compared to how I remembered it from last year. The garland I used this year wasn't really long enough - maybe that is why. Or maybe it was because I didn't have to put as much effort into it as in the past?
Tonight I put some tinsel on the tree, and now it seems more right. I haven't used the tinsel in many years.
