![]() Then I began noticing the same style of ornament for other North Carolina schools, along with the ACC and SEC, and my collecting obsession was firmly established. I must have liked their ornament so much that I decided to go back and buy another one for myself-and another and another. They both attended there in the early 1950s, in the days of Arnold Palmer, so Wake Forest has always held a special place in my heart. I think I can trace the beginning of this obsession to purchasing a gold Wake Forest ornament for my parents. Having that many school-specific decorations didn’t happen all at once. I then took our old Christmas tree to school and started decorating it with all my college ornaments. When we both noticed we had more team ornaments than Hallmark baubles, I realized I needed to redirect my fascination with college memorabilia. About five years ago, my wife lovingly implied that we had enough college stuff on our tree at home, so I begrudgingly realized she was right (she usually is). I happen to collect college Christmas ornaments. College-themed ornaments hang on Larry Efird's Christmas tree.
