When I was little, every December my family used to go to a Christmas tree ornament fair in our town. Each year my sisters and I got to pick out ones we liked and have them labelled with our names on them. They always fit into the same theme; one year we got ceramic gingerbread men, another we chose little wooden figurines of different sports players. But the greatest ones we ever ended up with were diamond shaped glass mirrors with our names painted on the back, and a picture of an animal on the front. Here's mine:
It wasn't until many many years later that I first became aware of people using the expression "rainbows and unicorns" to describe something that is perfectly fun/happy/friendly/nice/sweet etc. As much as I loved this ornament as a child, now it's even better.
