The Southeast Missourian asked students at Jackson Middle School about their special Christmas tree decorations.
Matt Gordon: "One of my favorites is an ornament I made in preschool with a smashed soda can. It is spray-painted with a face on it. The mouth is the opening."
Sam Gregg: "It's a milk carton ornament that I made in first grade. It's a little Santa Claus decoration with a hat on it."
Charles Flint: "It will be a web I made with different colors in fifth grade. It's made out of orange, blue and white yarn and sticks about the size of your hand."
Jordan Hinkle: "We have ornaments on it that I have made. One is a wreath I made with beads and string."
Jessica Bock: "My grandma makes ornaments which match our living room. She designs fans, angels, bells and other things."
