Last call for holiday heirlooms

Do you have a favorite ornament or decoration — something that you display year after year, that has special meaning to you? Share it! Your holiday heirloom doesn't have to be beautiful or expensive. We're looking for things with a story behind them.

So tell us about your favorite ornament or other decoration, and what makes it special to you. Send a few sentences and a digital photo to: kim.palmer@startribune.com. Or mail a snapshot and brief description to: Kim Palmer, Star Tribune Newsroom, 425 Portland Av. S., Minneapolis, MN 55488.

We'll feature some of the most interesting tales in an upcoming story in the Variety section and at www.startribune.com. But don't delay. The deadline is Tuesday, Dec. 10, by the end of the day.
