There was a time when Christmas wasn’t color coordinated. When ornaments were handed down, and found, and made. The tree became a patchwork history quilt of Christmases past. The Ornaments at the Back of the Tree is a humorous and touching tale of trinkets that come to life as the lights dim. They learn real value doesn’t come from your station in life or perceived perfection. The Ornaments at the Back of the Tree is the tale of a small, wooden soldier who learns that his view of himself has been greatly distorted by the reflection he sees in the other ornaments. The wise, old partridge sees things in the soldier that he cannot see in himself. When Christmas appears to be on the verge of ruin, the friendship forged between these two characters has the power to change not only the soldier, but everything.
