Princeton Congress - 1783 Metal Tree Decoration
The Continental Congress meeting in Princeton was a consequential event during the American Revolutionary War. In the winter of 1783, as the war was winding down and the British were withdrawing from many American cities, the Continental Congress reconvened in Princeton, New Jersey. The decision to meet in Princeton was partly due to the proximity to the American and British armies. This gathering was significant as it allowed the Congress to address critical issues related to the end of the war, including demobilisation of the Continental Army, veterans' compensation, and negotiating the terms of the Treaty of Paris, which would officially end the conflict.
One of the most memorable moments during the Princeton Congress was the adoption of the Continental Army's furlough and pension plan. This resolution, drafted by Alexander Hamilton, addressed the soldiers' concerns over their back pay and pensions, which had been promised but often delayed during the war. It established a system for compensating veterans and granting them land in lieu of full pay. The Princeton Congress also played a crucial role in ratifying the Treaty of Paris in 1783, formally recognising American independence from Britain. The successful negotiations and resolutions during this meeting helped pave the way for the orderly conclusion of the Revolutionary War and the establishment of the United States as an independent nation.

I never thought about collecting Christmas Ornaments for each place my husband & I traveled until later on in our lives. Now I'm trying to play catch up with all the places we've traveled to & didn't have an ornament. I made a travel tree this year that I will keep up all year in my office, since the majority of the ornaments are places from all around the world where our company has taken us to. Print was large enough to see.

What a cute ornament with all the best bosses from Mega Man 1-4! The coating (to keep from scratching) almost feels like podge glue. Awesome! Very awesome - see my photo for size.

We wanted an elegant looking ornament to add to our family Christmas tree and we were very excited to see we were given the option to upgrade to this one as we customized the art work. We loved it, the product is very well made. I knew the product would be elegant but was pleasantly surprised at the weight of the item and that it came in a protective pouch we can use to store.
