From Old World Christmas. Don't have a raft or canoe? Just throw on your Life Jacket and you will bob and float in a lake, ocean or river! Personal flotation devices like life jackets are essential for safety when having fun out on the water. A far cry from their primitive counterparts made of animal hides and hollowed gourds, today they are often made of a tough synthetic fiber around a buoyant foam. Gather a grouping of the Old World Christmas glass ornaments like this life jacket, a camper, canoe or football to commemorate a great summer vacation!
