Description

Three vintage glass Christmas ornaments hang suspended in front of a background of blue with white clouds. The closest ornament in the foreground is shaped like an ice cream cone with a human face; the face has pale skin, blue eyes, and a wide smile with red lips. The cone portion is brown. Above and slightly behind this is an ornament shaped like an American football, in red with white markings. The third ornament, higher and partially obscured, has a red hat. Water droplets are visible on the glass, suggesting the image was taken through a window.
