Traditions

I have a Christmas tradition that I love. Every year I create matching handmade Christmas Tree ornaments for each of my children.
When I left home, I had to go out and buy a bunch of Wal Mart junk to decorate my tree. You could almost feel the lack of sentimental value in those cheap ornaments.
I can't remember where I got the idea, but my children each have their own collection of made by Mom ornaments. Their first year away from home can bring warm memories with ornaments that were made by Mom's loving hands. Ornaments that are replicated on the trees of their siblings. Hopefully, it will alleviate some of the loneliness that we all felt in our first holiday 'out of the nest.'
