Project 365 Day 334: Tree Number Two

We have been enjoying our Christmas tree and other decorations around the main floor of our house since this past weekend, but I realized that the basement was nowhere near festive enough. Luckily, we have a few smaller artificial trees from our days of apartment living, and tonight I set this one up right next to my office desk. It features a string of multicolored lights, as well as an abundance of traditional and Star Trek/Star Wars themed ornaments.

Oline Christmas Ornament Trivia

Question: What ornament on this tree features the likeness of a character from a Star Trek television series who was played by an actor whom we saw perform live in a Shakespeare play during our first year in Washington, DC, back in 2005?

Answer: The character is Benjamin Sisko, from Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, played by Avery Brooks. We saw him perform as the title character in Othello at the Shakespeare Theatre Company's Lansburgh Theatre in Washington, DC during the fall of 2005.

His ornament is a bit difficult to find in this picture as it blends into the tree. It is on the lower left portion, directly below the Yoda ornament, and to the left of the guitar ornament.

Here he is as the Benjamin Sisko character:
