I have the photo orname...I'm glad you have the Elf. I have the photo ornament Aunt MaeDell made that has me (in ringlets) and Larry (in knee socks!). Tradition is that no matter where the boys originally hang it, it has to be moved to the front and center of the tree so I can see it. It makes me smile.<BR/><BR/>We always have a real tree (Adam) and it has to have colored solid lights. No blinkers for us either. We also have to have the thin tinsel and Adam's the only one who can touch the tinsel. I'm not sure why; I've stopped wondering at this point.<BR/><BR/>I like all my gift wrap to match and I have to spread it under the tree like a Christmas card. This worked well the first couple of years we were married; after the boys came along, Adam insisted that I move to his family tradition of making stacks for each kid. They had 5 kids so they had to do something to get through the morning. So now I make it nice and pretty, take some pix, and then stack the gifts to make all the boys happy.<BR/><BR/>I have yet to find a wreath I love. I think I'm just too picky. I have tremendous wreaths for every other holiday/season, but only 2 so-so wreaths for Christmas. And that makes me sad.Lorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11441292040000644118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3914909939683798562.post-1114658369211285812008-12-21T10:27:00.000-05:002008-12-21T10:27:00.000-05:00That's my favorite part of decorating the tree -- ...That's my favorite part of decorating the tree -- seeing all the family ornaments from the past years. I've made one every year since we were married too (except one particularly stressful one) so we can go back and see the story of our lives together. <BR/><BR/>By the way, I love the angel story. I have a story like that too. The handmade gifts like that are the best of all!Born Blondehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03368081527366573271noreply@blogger.com
