Gay Childhood Christmas Ornament Raffle Ticket

Handmade by Colin Verdi

Nobody knows whose beheaded Pierrot clown ornament it was or how it came into your parents’ possession. Never something they would buy, it has always just…existed. Each year someone threatened to throw this creepy clown out. But no matter who packed up Christmas the year before, there it was as you unwrapped the ornaments at the start of the season. “It’s like it follows you around,” they say. You just smile and hang it up again.
