The countdown is on! There are only 19 days til Christmas! The holiday season is a special time of year for our family. It brings back so many wonderful memories of our own childhoods and of our children growing up. Now, they have families of their own and they are making their own holiday traditions.
Its a time of year for recording those memories to look back on in years to come. Don't forget to take that camera and have it ready wherever you are! Keep extra batteries nearby, because its inevitable that you will need them when you are least prepared! Make sure you get photos of special moments, but also important items that will be "special" in years to come.
Here are a few suggestions for photos....
That letter to Santa! How priceless will that be in years to come in that handwriting that only Santa can read? Or a picture of that plate of cookies for Santa and his elves?
Cutting down or buying that perfect tree. This is a huge tradition for us. First breakfast together at a local diner, and then off to fell the "tree of the year"! Ours is usually about 12 feet tall and requires a lot of ornaments to say the least. It is a day long affair. Topping it off with the "star" is another tradition. Our 2 daughters took turns every other year. And, we never had to worry about remembering who's turn it was. They NEVER FORGOT! Now that they are off on their own, we always reminisce about those moments when I place the star on top of our tree!
