Oh! Tannenbaum!

I'm on a bit of a budget this year so instead of getting a real tree as I usually do, I thought I'd make use of the 'trinket tree' (see post from 9.20.15). I think it came out pretty good...I goes you could say it's a contemporary/mod take on the traditional Christmas tree shape.


In addition to various ornaments that I've collected over the years I festoon each year's tree with homemade ornaments made from old Christmas cards I receive. I feel it's a way to bring all those past Christmases into the present.
One of my favorites though is not made from Christmas cards. I call it 'The Hollywood Nun Ornament.' It features the faces of 20 actresses who've played nuns in movies over the years...Audrey Hepburn ("The Nun's Story"), Deborah Kerr ("Heaven Knows, Mr. Allison"), Meryl Streep ("Doubt"), Rosalind Russell ("The Trouble With Angels"), and on and on. I love it. Here's a closeup of several angles...can you identify the actresses shown and their nun role?
