When I was young I particularly liked Christmas tree baubles of the type shown in today's photograph - a ball with a deep indentation. I suppose they seemed to offer more than a plain sphere, looking as they do, somewhat like a model of the earth with a glimpse of the hot core. In those days baubles were made of glass but today safer plastic is favoured. However, the example shown is glass, one of several indented baubles we bought several decades ago. Every few years one of them is dropped and it breaks and eventually we will have none left. But until that time I'll enjoy how they look and how they are a tangible reminder of festive seasons past. Merry Christmas!
