Little does my son know it, but he's already got two ornaments hanging that will go with him whenever he sets up his own household. I wonder if he'll think they're "old" then.<br />Thanks for the wonderful opportunity to blog with you today, Lilly...and happy holidays!Laura Browninghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03257184550737010323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4715895375151487456.post-76137255601701428532011-12-16T22:27:19.581-05:002011-12-16T22:27:19.581-05:00Hey ladies!

Each year I buy my babes one new ornament to add to the tree--sometimes I let them pick it, sometimes I surprise them, but each year brings new memories and so we get a new ornament.Cherokee Beehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14794636808277697930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4715895375151487456.post-24608303307198352232011-12-16T15:34:37.269-05:002011-12-16T15:34:37.269-05:00I have a lot of those old memory ornaments, too.

And two that commenorate passed pets. I enjoy putting those ornaments on my tree every year. Don't need any new fancy ones. Only new ones that create future memories.<br /><br />Enjoyed the excerpt.

My daughter's cat is 4 and each year, we place those birds higher and higher and deeper and deeper inside the tree. And yet somehow, Cha Cha still finds them. One is missing his beak, the other is missing his feet and they're both a few feathers shy of a full tail, but they're going back in my tree next year. Maybe Cha Cha will be bored with them by then. lol!Lilly Gaylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12085355337721818824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4715895375151487456.post-76145137044556031222011-12-16T12:54:50.587-05:002011-12-16T12:54:50.587-05:00Our Christmas tree is decorated with ornaments tha...Our Christmas tree is decorated with ornaments that were handmade or passed down throughout the years. We have a set of 4 cardinals with real feathers that belonged to my grandmother. Up until last year, they looked like new. Now 2 of them have a few less feathers thanks to my cat. (Last year was her first Christmas. She loved batting the ornaments off and attacking them.) This year the cardinals are all near the very top, out of reach of the cat. I hope. Loved your excerpt. I'm adding Santa's Helper to my TBR list.Katherinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13752337710626176062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4715895375151487456.post-41072223753094898632011-12-16T09:27:48.453-05:002011-12-16T09:27:48.453-05:00Beth, when my daugthers were little, they were alw...Beth, when my daugthers were little, they were always making ornaments. One year, they made several all by themselves. They were awful but my babies made them so on the tree they went...toward the back. My tree was in front of the window so I told my girls they were so pretty, I wanted people driving by the house to be able to see them through the window. My girls and I laugh about that now. One of the "ornaments" was Santa drawn on notebook paper. A pipe cleaner was shoved through the top of the paper and looped for the hanger. I wouldn't hang that one on my tree now, but I wish it had survived over the years. Sadly, silverfish love notebook paper and I had silverfish in my attic.Lilly Gaylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12085355337721818824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4715895375151487456.post-5770597138303772582011-12-16T09:06:27.202-05:002011-12-16T09:06:27.202-05:00Wonderful excerpt - trimming the tree is something...Wonderful excerpt - trimming the tree is something my daughter and I always do together.

...I love the premise of your book...great excerpt!<br /><br />Had to chuckle at your sons comment about buying new ornaments. My kids have said the same thing, and I've given your same answer. I know one day they'll "get it", but it is a grin for now.<br /><br />Happy Holidays and congrats on your new release :)christine warnerhttp://christine-warner.comnoreply@blogger.com
