My grandma and I went on for years seeing who could buy the other the wackiest ornament, which is always fun trying to find. She also bought me an ornament "stand" and every year buys me a new heavier ornament to put on it. <br /><br />I love the idea of having a smaller "kid" tree with all their great decorations and ornaments!tammyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11440760114820803415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7307114766025313443.post-30548906912270981092009-12-02T14:07:08.651-08:002009-12-02T14:07:08.651-08:00this is such a great tradition! we will have to in...this is such a great tradition! we will have to incorporate something similar..i love learning new traditions! trying to find some new ones that also help us teach our daughter to celebrate advent/the birth of Christ and not just all of teh stuff of christmas.Susannahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12659817050414584581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7307114766025313443.post-88039103966334140152009-12-02T12:28:37.115-08:002009-12-02T12:28:37.115-08:00We do something similar- we get an ornament for ea...We do something similar- we get an ornament for each boy at Christmas time, representing something from that year. Dennis's parents did this as well, so we have a wonderful collection of ornaments that are rather unique (Dennis was into aquariums for a while, so we have several fish ornaments)!<br /><br />We also try to pick up an ornament when we travel anywhere- we remember the vacation every time we put the ornament on the tree. We have one from the Tower of London, one from a tourist store in Ireland, a White House ornament, etc. <br /><br />Sorry this got so long. I LOVE CHRISTMAS!!leahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05004783118268323560noreply@blogger.com
