I am hoping to make CHristmas Spritz cookies, though I will have to do tiny batches because I only have the toaster oven to bake with...sigh.
I think it would be great to start a new family tree with new ornaments, to make new memories. Box the old ones and put them away in a special place, so that you have them if you want them, or if you want to pass them down at a later time in life.

I think new ornaments for a new start sound like a really excellent idea. <3 *HUGS*

Hm, I'd recommend spending time together as a family. That's what makes priceless memories. Now as an adult, I could care less about big dinners or piles of gifts (which as the only child in a household with five adults there were)... I still like them...

But what I really miss is having family near. Spending time with those close to me. It's not about the tree being up, the presents shopped, the food cooked... what I miss is doing those things as a family.

So if the ornaments make you feel bad, or you feel like living up to someone else... stop it! Do things WITH your kids that make you all happy. That's the feeling to remember. :-)

*hugs* And merry Christmas by the way.
