During  this pandemic year, I realize more than ever how time is a priceless gift—time is what you make of it. You can pass the time being creative and productive and be amazed at how much you can actually achieve even during a lockdown!

Therefore, I made a mini Christmas tree to echo that thought. I had a combo of Nutcracker Suite ornaments and  Swatch watches I collected through the years, such as the Swatch Bencab and the holiday editions like my “treetop star” in the form of a Swatch bracelet watch with hanging colored crystals.  One of my all-time faves is wrapped at the base of the tree: the Big Bold Bape.

Even the collectible packaging of Swatch special editions makes for good decor.Carrot-shaped packaging is a classic.Souvenir portrait and Swatch cuffs in gold and faux furSwatch cuff in faux fur and the crystal globe boxIt's time to bring out the holiday plate for a happy setting.Little details make a Christmas setting.
