Christmas- just the very mention of the word brings a flood of memories to most people. I enjoy sharing family traditions with friends and family. It seems everyone has a different twist on how their family handles the holiday.
One tradition we started for our girls from the very beginning was to give them a new tree ornament every year. This way when they left home to start their own family, they would have a start on their new tree. Even though the girls now have their own families, we all continue to give each other ornaments each year.
We once again have a Santa believer in the family with our four year old grand daughter. I have so missed those days with our girls and thoroughly enjoy taking Grace outdoors on the premise that I've heard Santa, while someone goes out the back door and shakes the sleigh bells. The excitement in those little eyes is what it's all about.
I want to thank those that have followed my blog this year and wish you all a very Merry Christmas. I wish you well with your family traditions, both old and new. Although times have been tough for all this year, I hope you'll find time to be thankful for the things that are good in your life. Merry Christmas to all!
Really enjoyed your images and Christmas story. Keep up the good work.
Dan
