Can you guess what it is?

I'm putting some stuff I don't need anymore on eBay so I had the light tent out and I thought I might try some macro shots since I've not done any for a while. Can you guess what it is?

I'll give you a wee clue - I keep it with my light tent...

Oooh, excitement, my first "one year ago" box should appear here today!

I guess we were putting our tree up - I thought we were a bit late this year but it seems not so much! Mind you, we did cheat and go artificial this year!
