Merry GIF-mas a Christmas Ornament

Christmas may have come and gone but winter is still holding strong. Keep some cheer going with this GIF-mas ornament shared by mars91 on Instructables. Uses a custom pcb and some Adafruit gear including the Adafruit QT Py ESP32, microSD Card BFF Add-On, MiniBoost 5V @ 1A – TPS61023 and more!

A customizable Christmas ornament that plays GIFs! This ornament plays a jingle, shows family photos, and plays holiday GIFs. I made a few for family presents this year and was surprised at how much my family liked it, especially when I used their own pictures.
