Holiday Traditions 12.5.23

My mom started a tradition many years ago with her children – my sister (Vicki), myself and my brother (John). After we all flew the coop, she started giving us a “dated” ornament each year for Christmas. She chose the ornaments with care – always securing an ornament that was either relevant to whatever was going on in our lives or one that represented our interests. My dated ornaments go all the way back to the late 1970’s and my collection has grown so that they are now the only ornaments I need to fill an entire Christmas tree!

Over the next month, with each post, I’ll share a special ornament from this collection. The 1986 Sleigh ornament has always been one of my very favorites. I cannot imagine anything that would be more fun than a sleigh ride in the woods on a snowy evening!
