I don't like Christmas trees full of generic ornaments you can just go buy at Walmart. Our tree ornaments were all things the kids or friends had
made, and cool things collected on travels.
I had these really ugly ornaments the kids had made in pre-school- a cardboard circle with glued on macaroni spray painted silver. When the kids got
older, we got into this silly little game where they'd say, "Mom, those are so ugly, you should throw them out", and they'd remove them from the tree.
Then I'd sneak them back on again.
And one year when my granddaughter was a year old, she kept taking the ornaments off, so we had to put all of them on the top half of the tree where
she couldn't reach, and the whole bottom half was bare. |
