My mom has this ugly Santa ornament, and one year, I took it off the tree and clipped it to her pillow. We've been trading it back and forth ever since - 16 years now. I wore it to the Golden Globes and even put it in her bird feeder. As the birds eat, it's slowly revealed.

‐‐ Blake Lively
My mom is a painter and an artist. She would play music, and she always had very good taste in music, fashion, and art.
