Christmas Ornament

As a child, I used to make Christmas ornaments with my Mom every year. We would make one each, my sister and I, and my Mom would make one. We would sign and date them and “add” them to our growing collection of homemade holidays on our tree. My Mother has been absent from my Christmases for a few years now, but that tradition lives on.

 Here’s an example for you and your children to try. Maybe you will start a holiday tradition too.
