I think it should have been sparkly zebras

The bauble really is quite interesting, when you come to think about it, its become normal for us to have tree's indoors, and decorate them with shiny balls of plastic, metal and glass (depending on your social standing of course...)
I wonder at what point this became normal behavior. Either way i do love sitting in the dark with the Christmas tree lights on. Atm the only tree erected in my house is the tiny one of miss Christie and myself, however there are plans for another three trees to go up soon.
