What are your favorite old, new, and sentimental ********* ornaments.

1 Answer

Answer :

We have a set of glass bells that hang from the tree. A looong time ago when my son was about 4 I aimed a HeNe laser at one edge of one of the bells. I moved it so the angle of incidence magically sent the light into and around the bell. It was gorgeous. My son walked up to it and stared in awe afraid to touch it. Humans perceive laser light differently from regular light and even at that young age he knew something special was going on. I taught him about lasers that year. He’s now an electrical engineer. We still hang that ornament.
