This year my family was scattered all over the place at Christmas, so to bring them a little closer to home, I purchased this and other ornaments from the Kurt Adler Glass Cityscape collection to represent where they were: my daughter in San Francisco, my son in Los Angeles, my dear friend in New York City. The ornaments are beautifully designed and executed and each time I saw them on my tree, I felt that they were celebrating Christmas with me.
