Forgotten Christmas Ornament Offers a Delightful Moment

Spotted this last week at my favorite second hand shop:

It’s almost spring but I guess someone forgot to put this little apple away after Christmas at the thrift shop. Or, like me, they decided to leave a trace of Christmas cheer on display until winter is over.

Either way, the sight of this beautifully crafted, glossy little apple made my day.

I almost asked to purchase it, then decided to leave it, to perhaps offer a moment of delight to the minority of others like me, who can be lifted from the depths of late winter depression by a moment of whimsy.
