tissue ghosts for Halloween and hanging them on the tree for 20 years. Some fall off, and they add more. Over the years they've added some bats and Christmas angels, an elf, a few Santas and a snowman. The youngest are now in college. The oldest is in his 40s. They still come for the Halloween party, and make ghosts to add to the sparse spots.
