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.
My husband got me this one while I was pregnant
We got my brother this the year he graduated from college
I have gotten my husband multiple cars and motorcycles, a fishing Santa but my favorite has to be
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.

We started getting an ornament the year we got togethre and then we also continued it after we were married and had our family. We got them with the year on them and when we had our babies it was their 1st Christmas ones on those years. I love reading traditions.
