Our First Home Christmas Ornament - I've always been a fan of old-fashioned Christmas. Get the decorated tree, baking cookies Christmas (I'm partial to chocolate kiss cookies, the sugar cookies with chocolate kisses in the middle), wrapping gifts, singing Christmas music ... Our house is full of Christmas music for all people in December.
Since I got married recently, my wife and I have just started collecting Christmas tree ornaments; while we have a cheap ornament box which largely cover our tree, we also started to collect more meaningful ornaments that will eventually replace all cheaper. The first ornament we bought on our honeymoon, and occupies a place of honor in the tree; The second is \\ \"our first Christmas \\\" ornaments that will contain one of our wedding photos, in the liver.
Of course, it is easy to see some people who will come in the future. First Christmas baby is an obvious one, once we started to have kids ... and you know how kids love Christmas! But we will probably also buy more ornaments when we travel, so the tree can serve as a reminder of the things we did together.
always seems as if there are two competing versions of Christmas: the ancient family and celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ, and the secular version that started around mid-September, which is all about commercialism. I love Santa and gift giving as much as anyone - in fact, I often start Christmas shopping me at the end of summer, when I see something that family members want - but it is always important to remember the true meaning of Christmas, and be close to the people we loving.
