The Kraken Has Seen Enough of Humanity ~ Ornament

Four Centuries of Watching ~ Officially Done

It watched the ships come, the plastic arrive, and the cruise band play the same song every night for a decade. Now it just wants a trench with no reception. Anyone who has worked a public-facing shift knows the feeling by lunchtime.

• For the worn-down and done: Retail veterans, nurses on a double, and anyone who has read the comments section.
• The honest Monday gift: Give it to the friend who answers 'how are you' with a long exhale.
• Retired to Here Be Monsters: Where the ancient and the exhausted keep each other company.

Pirate Dayz made this round ornament for the tree, whether it stands in the living room or the galley (Slander the Parrot has already claimed a branch). Pick ceramic at 3 inches or aluminum at 3.6 inches, and it arrives with its hanging string. A wipe with a damp cloth keeps it shipshape through many Decembers. Hang it on the tree, from the rum shelf, or tie it to a bottle for the friend who says arrr at every opportunity.
