If you ask two little girls their color preferences you end up with a pretty girlie tree. We made some accordion fan flowers to fill in the holes of our missing ornaments. Of course after all that work we found the missing ones, but decided to keep the flowers lest we face a riot from the girls.
This was totally my siblings and I 25 years ago. I miss them all especially this time of year.
Two years ago we started a new tradition. We wrap up 25 Christmas books, some about Christ's birth and some about Santa or other Christmas stories. We open one a night until Christmas. Many of them are library books, so we have our familiar favorites and some fun new ones.
Do you have any Christmas traditions you love?

What a sweet picture of the two of them--- and I love the improvised decorations!
Your tree looks so so cute! And what a great tradition. I like it! AND they get to open a present everyday. SO FUN!
I love the tree!! Good job girls! We have a few traditions. We open jammies on Christmas Eve.. We always have the chocolate advent calendars. We have a manger nativity that we put a piece on everyday until Christmas and we always go sledding on Christmas day. That's just a few...hehe

and what a great idea with the books!!!

email me your address so we can send you a holiday card!!! linzyallen at gmail dot com.
I love the tree! I would make that a new tradition! Our newest tradition is to have an envelope on the tree of all the "good" we did during the holiday season. We open that up christmas morning before gifts and remember the reason for the season. Ken and the kids always make Christmas bread, too.
I love it! Great job on the tree. I miss our big family parties we had on Christmas Eve back in the day.
I love the tree! Tysha and I still need to decorate ours. It is in the house just not decorated yet. I am sure we will get to it sometime!!! I love the pictures of the girls looking at the tree. It reminds me of my sister and myself when we were young. Loved sitting by the tree and reading by the lights on the tree. We had a few traditions, caroling to the neighbors, making candy, breads and visiting w/neighbors. Of course drawing names and opening them on Christmas eve. Reading the Christmas story on Christmas morning before opening presents. Just a few of the traditions. Miss you and love you all.
