Christmas is a time of traditions. Most of the ones celebrated in North America are based upon Christian values, even for those who don't practice. It's great that you had such a long run on yours and it's awesome that you are still able to get a tree with your family. It's too bad that the government's heavy handed response to COVID stole so many traditions from us all. I still have a row to ho ho ho with my brother due to this so it makes this season a little tougher. Bless you and your family. Hopefully your ornament tradition continues as long as everyone is able.
Thank you for sharing that. That was incredibly heart warming. I'm so glad you see the value of family traditions and are able to create such beautiful memories. Wish I'd been part of your family. Didn't have anything like that with mine and it's all gone now. Have a Merry Christmas!
Beautiful tree and tradition, Sheldon. "It's the most wonderful time of the year..." From my family to you and your family, all your friends and their families...everyone - Have a very Merry Christmas!
Enjoyed reading about your family traditions during the Christmas season. Very important and special. Merry Christmas to you my friend, your wife and family.
That's an awesome story! I decorated my tree yesterday, and recalled all the various traditions with my family as well. All of my ornaments are either gifted from kids, passed down through the family, or hand-made - some that I remember making when I was a kid!
Merry Christmas to you and your family, Sheldon. What a lovely Christmas tradition! We are just about to board a flight home from Budapest, where we have spent the last two weeks drinking in the Christmas season, which they celebrate overtly and enthusiastically here in the countries of the former Austro Hungarian empire. First item on the agenda when we arrive home is to go to the Christmas tree farm not too far from our house with our youngest son (he's the only one of our three living close to home) to stomp around in the vast forest to pick out and cut down this year's tree, like we have for many years. The good people that run the farm offer a hot dog roast and hot chocolate on the way out of their farm, which we take in yearly also and is part of the tradition. Merry Christmas to you all!
