Below is the home-made Christmas ornament I received from my wife this year. (We ate a lot of pistachio nuts in 2011 and she memorialized them.) To see our homemade ornaments from the past, check out: https://www.awmok.com/2010/12/24/homemade-kitschmas-ornaments/

I LOVE that these are all your eaten pistachio shells!! And I LOVE the tradition you guys have about the homemade ornaments. This is a perfect addition to the collection.
Do you hang all of them every year?
If the shells weren’t glued together I’d wanna use this as a percussion instrument.

We have so many now, that we only hang a selected few each year.
