Mostly the ornaments are those Paul and I pick up as we see something that has meaning for us but they tend to be  sort of a mix of country-ish ornaments,  Santas, and bears (with the occasional tiger for Paul).<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"images\/2007\/Bread_rolls.gif\" title=\"Bread rolls just out of the oven\" alt=\"Bread rolls just out of the oven\" align=\"right\" border=\"3\" hspace=\"4\" vspace=\"3\" \/><\/p>\n<p>My son often doesn&#8217;t make it for the holidays since he works a lot of part-time jobs and a missed day is a day of pay missed so having him here for Christmas is a real treat.
