THIS WEEKS SPT CHALLENGE-do you have an ornament tradition? how about a favorite ornament? for this challenge, focus on the ornaments that actually hang on your tree, on how much joy can be found in something small.
YES I DO!
ONE OF MY FAVORITE THINGS TO DO AT CHRISTMAS IS TO MAKE HOMEMADE ORNAMENTS. MY MOM INTRODUCED THIS IDEA WHEN I WAS YOUNGER. WE MADE ALL KINDS OF HOMEMADE DOUGH ORNAMENTS. THEY ARE MY FAVORITE. THE FIRST YEAR GARRAN AND I WERE MARRIED WE DID NOT HAVE MUCH MONEY, SO I CALLED MY MOM, GOT THE RECEIPT AND TA DA WE HAD SOMETHING TO DECORATE OUR TREE WITH. WE HAVE SAVED THEM AND ADDED TO THEM EACH YEAR. THEY ARE NOT FANCY, BUT I LOVE THE WAY OUR TREE LOOKS EACH YEAR WITH OUR LITTLE DOUGH ORNAMENTS HANGING ON IT.
HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

I LOVE this tradition! And thanks to you... I have the sweet recipe!!! We all still get a laugh out of Garran's ornament with the butt flap hanging down! The kids, especially Eden, LOVE it! I don't know if we'll have time for it this year... Christmas has gotten so doggone hectic!!! Especially when your kids get into school and you want to help with their parties and other parties and cookie making and card sending and blah, blah, blah! Don't get me wrong... I LOVE CHRISTMAS... but I think I need to cut down on certain activities... for my own sanity! :)
