Wrapped under the tree, as I have a tendency to peek.
3. Colored lights on tree/house or white? I

I figured it out when I found my mum's holiday stash. I don't know--age 6 or 7?

Special ornaments we collect in our travels or from friends & family, with shiny red or gold balls to bring consistency.

Great for skiing; cruddy for getting to work. (I'm from the deep south people. 50 degrees is artic. We are not snow people...)
