Can’t forget this ornament! It is a 1917 Curtiss JN-4D, known as a “Flying Jenny” -where my handle comes from #AvGeek #Spacemas

An ornament from my time volunteering at the Air Force Space & Missile Museum. Probably the only ornament featuring a NAVAHO (North American Vehicle using Alcohol and Hydrogen peroxide and Oxygen) missile #Spacemas

This Santa Shuttle ornament was a gift to my daughter from a co-worker (Hi Cilla!) with a note to her that it was “her heritage” (both parents worked on shuttle). Awwww #spacemas

Remember when people used to say that friends online weren’t “real” friends? This ornament was made by one of my blog friends @catlady77.bsky.social in 2006! Pre-Xitter

Who gave me this one? Was it you, Stu? I know they had these at the NASA Exchange stores at KSC at one point #Spacemas

It lights up, but needs the old school type of Christmas lights to plug into. #spacemas

This ornament isn’t spacey, but came from a Spacetweep. Was a gift from @gabriellenyc.bsky.social when she visited for a launch

Decorating the tree always reminds me of old Xitter friends. Check out this fun cratered ornament made by @joitheartist.bsky.social #spacemas

My daughter and I recently visited the grave of Miss Baker the space monkey at the US Space & Rocket Center. Notice the much smaller stone on the ground for “Big George, husband of Miss Baker” Guess the patriarchy isn’t as strong in the monkey world

One of my lithops is blooming. The last time I had one bloom it died shortly after. Fingers crossed for better luck this time
