It's A Calling.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat line lands because it's true for the people it describes. Hikers don't plan trails because they have nothing better to do on weekends — they plan them months in advance, track elevation, and think about the next one before the current one is finished. An ornament that acknowledges that isn't decoration. It's recognition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat This Ornament Is Made From\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ornament is constructed from \u003cstrong\u003eMDF (medium-density fiberboard)\u003c\/strong\u003e with a high-gloss plastic finish.
