I realized that after you wear a Christmas pin for a few years, everyone you know has seen it. No matter how wonderful it is, it gets old.
I have such a pin. I have enjoyed wearing it for many years; but it has lost it's pizazz now that everyone has seen it... repeatedly. So I decided to give it to someone. Making this tradition more interesting, I ended up trading it to someone for one she was wearing. She loved the idea of having a new Christmas pin and gladly traded.
This is my new pin. I love it... it's kinda like ugly Christmas sweaters; but cute. We'll see what next year brings. I will also have this one to trade... maybe.
