Ornament #8

Here we start week 2 of our Christmas Ornament Challenge.  What do we have today?


A mirror ball!  Every tree needs a disco ball, right?

When we were first married and had our first house, we had THE COOLEST Christmas tree ever.  We got it from Tree Classics in nearby Barrington and in addition to the regular mini lights, it had (wait for it....) fiber optic lights too!  Gosh, that tree was cool!  We thought highly reflective ornaments like this mirror ball would really glitter in those tiny lights.  It did!

The tree lasted a couple of years and then the fan that ran the fiber optics burned out.  I think we replaced it and when that second motor burned out, we just replaced the tree, but I haven't found a fiber optic tree like it ever since.  It was amazing!

Disco Christmas!
