What's Your Favorite Christmas Ornament?

We're looking for photos of the most unique, quirky, or memorable trinkets that you hang on your tree for the holidays.

Holiday decorations do more than just glitter and sparkle — they give a hint about the personality of their owners.

Whether it's a trinket showing loyalty to a favorite sports team, a delicate ball handed down through the family or a set of paper mittens made by a now grown-up child, ornaments often tell a story.

Here's your chance to share photos (or video) of the most unique decoration you keep on your tree.

Post your photos and video by clicking the Upload button above.

Festus....being a bigot and scared of your shadow doesn't accomplish anything....that's why theRead More newly passed concealed carry law ought help....dude pulls a knife he gets peekaboo at the barrel of a .45 and lets see how things turn out....I get cut and his pumpkin implodes......better guess he turns tail and runs...reenforcing the rule that you don't win when you bring a knife to a gun fight

You're right, Patch. This post is barely literate.

The writer of the post is illiterate....that is clear. The Evanston Police, in general, do a greatRead More job in this community. There ought be a new category created specifically for membership in a gang that has demonstrated committed acts of violence...it goes back to the first smart thing which Mark Kirk ever said which was locking up each and every one of the 18.5K members of the Gangster Disciples. The second thing that can be done is that each and every law abiding Evanston resident that is legally able to do so should avail themselves of the right to obtain a new Illinois Concealed Carry Permit for a handgun. An armed society is a polite society.
