As you know, Christmas is right around the corner. Do you have anything amusement park related that you tie into Christmas? One of my Christmas trees is decorated with ornaments from various parks that we have visited over the years. I have it up but it's not yet decorated - I'll post a picture when I have the 2014 version complete.

After Christmas last year my mother sent me an ornament from the tree from a metal forge that is close to where I grew up. Right now it is one of my prized ornaments. Some of you will recognize it as Thunderbolt at Kennywood - an awesome wooden coaster.

It is hand-wrought from America's oldest forge, Wendell August Forge. They have an assortment of ornaments from Kennywood - https://www.wendellaugust.com/products/search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&search_terms=kennywood.

I regret that I don't have any from the other parks I've been too, but I plan on doing so next time I return.

Great ornaments, cwgator!

I finally got a picture of my tree. I'll get some pictures of my favorite ornaments soon.
