'I'm now beginning to see my children's stories unfold every Christmas, too.'
Early in my adulthood, one of my first big vacations was to Ireland. While there, I stumbled upon this shop with gorgeous handcrafted wood pieces. Most were far out of my fresh-out-of-college price range — save for a tiny wooden harp ornament. It was beautiful, semi-affordable, and small enough to tuck in my carry-on.
Her wide-eyed expression,"oooooh, pwetty!" response, and too-eager grasp were proof that this was a tradition worth keeping, for her wonderment and for my nostalgia. I loved this idea, and there are so many ways to do it. The yearly ornament could be handmade — a different craft the kiddo"helped" create, like the classic clay handprint or popsicle stick snowflakes or pine cone snowmen. It could also be something simple and classic, a silver keepsake engraved with the child's name and current year.
Several Christmases ago, after a year of her only wanting to wear the same pair of striped"rainbow" pants and an unhealthy obsession with the technicolored Trolls franchise, I knew a painted glass rainbow ornament was the perfect choice. The next year, I opted for a Saturn ornament, as she'd had a space-themed birthday party. Then came a miniature painter's palette for my budding artist.
