Brings Family close when far awayThis really does bring the family close when we are far apart. Really warms the heart. Battery doesn't last forever, but that is expected. The plastic is a bit toyish, screen is tiny, and looks exactly like the image provided by PMall. But you know, it really is a great gift to give for the holidays. Just afraid if you actually put it on the treewithout proper support it may fall and break on a hard surface, as any thing made of this material would;(suggested for my brother to add additional support, even though it is a very light weight ornament). I don't recall, but I think it has a small base so it can sit on a table top. I gave it 4 stars only because of the plastic quality, but I would definitely recommend and purchase again. This got me out of a real gift idea stump, and turned out to be a very touching one.
