As of this posting we are 7 days till Christmas and 3 days till the Winter Solstice .Hanging the stockings and trimming the tree are some of the traditions we do every holiday season. We used to hang our original stockings but haven't since we moved here (7years ago), they had gotten damaged a bit in our old shed that had mice. I have my stocking that has been mine since my first Christmas , and the kids have first stockings with original beanie baby holiday bears in them. A repair project will have to be done when I unbox them sometime in the future. As a child my brother and I received an ornament every Christmas and we have kept that same tradition with our four children, and now the grandbabies. I hope your holiday traditions are Merry & Bright .
Your tree is so pretty, Holly. Looks like a lot of special ornaments are on there. Such wonderful traditions too. We had the same for many years, but it was just this year that I decided to give the stockings they grew up with to the kids, as my daughters are in their 40's now. Your angel is unique on the top of your tree. And the little ones look like they are having fun trimming the tree. That's great that you still have all your stockings. Traditions are so special, and we still have many of them in my family that were passed on from my own mom. Merry Christmas Holly.
