We often love people and things despite (or because of) their imperfections. In our collection, we have a holiday ornament that is a perfect example of this. All the other birds on the tree have their beaks firmly in place. Not this little guy. Somehow, he ended up faceless… beakless. We call him Bill. And for some reason, he is one of our family’s favorite holiday decorations. Maybe it’s just that he looks really funny. Or maybe we just identify with the feeling of not quite being THERE yet. Even though we try.
