Not Just Ornament(al)

Hanging ornaments on a Christmas tree is one of the finest pleasures of the Christmas season.

Because, of course, we’re not just hanging a silver glittery ball or a tiny red straw Santa.

We’re hanging memories.

“Oh, look at the ornament Daughter made in 2nd grade,” I gush to my guy.

“Atrocious,” he replies with a smile. He attempts to hang it on the back of the tree (because, really, it is rather ugly), but I move it front and center.

Every year, each ornament brings us back to the years...
