The Cabinet
This door is locked.
Behind it: glass ornaments, mouth-blown and painted by hand, and a few other things that are lovely to lift out of tissue next December, and the December after that.

What’s in here
- Glass birds, clipped on crookedI like the tree absolutely covered in ornaments. If you prefer three tasteful ones, your tree, your rules.
- Ornaments from PolandWrapped in the same tissue, every year, by the same person. Me.
- Four strings of lightsThree of them work. We find out which on the day.
- A paper starFrom a Christmas nobody can quite place. It goes on top anyway.
- Red velvet ribbonThe one red I like, the right width. There’s never enough, and I can never find it again. We may have to make it.
- A tangerineFor every stocking. No reason, except that there always was one.
The boxes go back up on January 6. Mostly.
