PAULYGAMY
I grew up thinking it was totally normal to have a house filled with them. At age ten I was sleeping with at least a dozen. Joe, however, was shocked when he discovered I had hidden so many. I tried to explain to him how I fell for the angelic, beautiful, smiling faces and fantastically bizarre outfits but he didn't care. He thinks I'm sick, twisted and in dire need of medication. A move, in his opinion, is the only way of getting rid of them. I love them, though , and God help me, I'm keeping them! So, how do I keep track of my 472 Christmas ornaments (especially in a move)? I photograph them, pack them in bubble wrap, place them in tightly sealed plastic crates and tape the photos to the outside. Some think I'm nuts but I don't care!
THE MORE THE MERRIER!
