"gotta hide that cracked red ball somehow!"
Quote by _Constance
They are very old, my decorations, all inherited you see,
and they have had a long, long life, some with problems;
hard to see- sadly, they don't get any attention except at Christmas,
gosh, the stress of being inspected for worthiness, for chips and,
cracks - oh, the shame of being put aside, no wonder they
joined a group for therapy-
don't be silly, old and delicate Christmas decorations, I love you all,
and you will adorn my tree, even if you are very old and cracked, and
not so perfect anymore, no problem I can hide
your imperfections with garland and tinsel,
so, come stop your worrying, you are loved just as you are, so come
just hang around . . .
a little cracked and old, not so shiny anymore, well me either you see,
oh, look at that pretty tree with all those old, old decorations !
