Santa ornament, my Favorite Ornament

My favorite Christmas ornament story started with my mother allowing my sister and I to each pick out an ornament in Macy's one year.
I picked a giant-obnoxious Santa Claus face that was silver and red and blue with a white, powdery beard. My sister picked a blue dice that she loved more than anything. The dice itself was blue and the dots were the same white powdery glitter that my Santa beard was made of.
One day, a friend of our mother's - Daniel came over. We were all about 10 years old. Daniel was the clumsiest kid you'd ever meet and he was helping us decorate the Christmas tree. Well Daniel dropped my Santa face ornament and my sister started laughing discreetly because she knew that I was going crazy inside. Luckily the ornament didn't break.
While my sister was giggling to herself, Daniel picked the next ornament he was going to hang - her blue dice and proceeded to crush it to little pieces in the palm of his hand.
I laughed and laughed and that is officially my favorite Christmas ornament memory.
