The Belle Ornament

Gabriel Belle always hated that ornament...The ugly one that hung on the tree every year and didn't fit in... just like him. He didn't fit into his own family. Maybe that's why it bothered him so bad. Every year that red ornament hung on that all too fancy tree and looked dumb, reminding him of his own face in family photos. Even his special needs brother, Joseph, fit in better than he did. So after so many years of being treated differently and putting up with it, this holiday season, he decided, will be the year he finally does something about his circumstances. But when he finally gets the guts to rebel... tragedy... followed by the most exciting adventure he will ever go on... all because of that cheap, ugly, dull Belle family ornament.
