My children pick out their own ornaments of what the last year meant to them. My 19 year old, when he was about 3 picked out an ornament showing Santa "laying a finger alongside his nose" before he rose up the chimney. When I asked him why he chose that ornament replied "because I pick my nose a lot!" I chuckle every year when I put that one on the tree. Needless to say our ornamnets are quite the eclectic collection!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7453890267354195934.post-35187979496708946972009-12-24T10:46:54.462-05:002009-12-24T10:46:54.462-05:00in fact, you inspired me to re-post from the archi...in fact, you inspired me to re-post from the archives my post . . . and I have given you credit for that inspiration.

Every ornament has a meaning. This year was especially difficult.

I have stopped recently but now I'm wishing I had. I can start again and think I will. I have ornaments that remind me of past events, too. I have them going back 30+ years and some are very dear. Katie helped me decorate the tree when she stayed a couple weekends ago and it was fun to point out certain ornaments and to tell her what their originations are.Sandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11462135507379897869noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7453890267354195934.post-51423960078080381762009-12-21T19:48:51.221-05:002009-12-21T19:48:51.221-05:00That is so nice.
