Oh, lovely! I love family traditions, and you've painted this one so vividly. Making the tree the center of the story and linking everyone together through their memories of it was inspired and it works beautifully. You chose such perfect items for all of them: the twin ornaments for George, Bill's earring inspiration, the green one for Ginny, etc., and then for Molly and Arthur the rings and the baby rattle -- really well done. And the last line, for the tree itself, actually made me tear up *snif*

Thanks so much! I just love the idea of how in this world non-"living" things can still be sentient, so I thought of how amazing it would be to have an ancient tree be the repository of all these family memories. So glad you enjoyed it!!

Such a beautiful picture of a loving family at Christmas! I adored how you shared everyone's thoughts on their favorite ornaments and memories of the tree. This both made me tear up (Bill's putting the star on top for the first time) and LOL (Charlie's fashioning an earring out of an ornament). Excellent story! :D

It's so cute!! I adore Arthur and Molly in this, they are so sweet! And of the course the entire Weasley clan is as fun and adorable as they should be. This is such a perfect little Christmas fic! I really love the ending with the tree, all the meaningful ornaments and the protective nature of the tree itself. It's just lovely and puts such a big grin on my face. :D

Thanks so much! Really glad you liked it. I love family heirlooms and the like, and with a family that big, it just seems like everyone would have their own special memories of the holidays, so I'm glad combining them all worked!
