Since I shared with you a little about traditions, I thought I would share, one of my special memories. Every year my mother makes each of her kids and their families a special ornament. She has been doing this for many years. This is one of the traditions that I am so excited to see what she has painted for the current Christmas. Here are some pictures of the ornaments that I cherish. I would like to give a shout out to my mother. "Mom, I love all the ornaments you make each year and I will cherish them and share memories with the family each time that I unwrap one to trim the tree." Thank you Mom, they are beautiful....... Happy Holiday to all and I hope you enjoy viewing these special ornaments.
