That is really cool about your Christmas tree. We make an ornament together every year to put on our tree and I save them too. But, I also buy my son an ornament every year and write the date on it. Then, when he is old enought to have his own place he will have a tree full of ornaments.sigh and grin...but mom isn't ready for that day yet.lol He is only 8.
I think this is going to be his last year for believing in Santa too. My how the time flies. But anyways, other traditions we have... we make cookies, treats ,and home made gifts for family and friends. We go look at lights,read the Christmas story, watch A Charlie Brown Christmas and The christmas movie about that little boy Ralpie.lol. And on Christmas eve night, we snuggle up under the tree and look up into the lights, usually eating a candy cane and talk about the meaning of Christmas and our favorite parts.
I really enjoyed your post. What a great idea for everyone to share !!!!
