• One tradition we use in our family is the hanging of your own special Christmas ball. They are easily made. Use a large colored glass ball, a metallic paint pen, glue and glitter to match. Write the name on the ball with the paint pen and then use the glitter and glue to decorate. The kids love hanging their ornament every year. ~ Denise

• Cut a slice off the bottom of your tree trunk. Sand it down on both sides and drill a hole at top. Add a picture of the family in front of the tree. Decopage this picture on one side. Put the date on the other side and decopage it as well. ~ Denise
