Christmas traditions

Long ago before I was married I dreamed of a tradition that I could share with my future husband and our future children. One that they would share with there families. It is a simple tradition but one that is special to us. We do glass blown ornaments, the old fashioned kind. This is because this is what my grandfather had and I still remember them, although I have no idea where his are I would give anything for them now. But they were probably sold when he passed away years ago.

Each year my husband picks me out an ornament and I pick him out one. When our daughter was born we started buying her ornaments and when my father passed away 3 Christmases ago we decided to get my brother in on the deal. So each year we each have a small box to open with an ornament in it that pertains to something that happened this year.

Okay so no it is not that exact thing but I did find an old world Christmas ornament that is a sumo wrestler, that I love more than anything. But I am at work  and it is at home so you are stuck to imagine that big guy all done in delicate glass. We try to keep it pretty light hearted and fun.
