A photo Christmas ornament in round glass: your picture edge to edge with a Christmas design, in three sizes. The seasonal element is what turns a photograph on a disc into something that belongs on a tree rather than on a shelf for eleven months of the year.
A plain photograph ornament works, but it is a photograph that happens to be hanging up. Adding a Christmas design gives it a reason to be there, and more usefully it dates the object: this was the tree that year, with those people on it. Families who hang one a year end up with a record, and the seasonal design is what makes each one legible as belonging to a particular Christmas rather than to no time at all.
A round crop removes everything outside an inscribed circle, so both ends of a rectangular picture go. One or two faces centred in frame survive comfortably; a line of five people at a table does not. The design also takes a share of the disc, which leaves the picture smaller than on the plain round ornament. If the photograph has several faces in it, the square version keeps considerably more of them, and the octagon is the middle option.
Anybody buying one a year should start small. A dozen large discs overwhelm a six foot tree, where a dozen small ones sit among the other decorations as they are meant to, and the size cannot be changed once the sequence has started. A plain photograph gives you no clue ten years later about which year it belonged to, which is the argument for the dated seasonal version over the undated one.
Full colour on thin glass, which passes light, so these read best with tree lights behind them rather than in front. Hang it towards the outside of a branch with a bulb sitting behind the glass, which is what lifts the picture. The same Christmas design is made in square, heart, octagon and bell shapes, and the round outline is also available plain and with wedding, anniversary, family, monogram and pet designs.
Seven shapes in all. Heart, round, square, octagon, bell, bone and paw. Sets are built to your own choice of shapes. Buy two for 10% off, fifteen for half price. Colour Enhancement can be added for $1.99 per image.
