I don't know what it is, but lately I've been hooked on "traditions" and thinking about how things were when I was a kid. Maybe it's because I'm a parent of young kids and I want them to grow up with warm fuzzies when thinking about their childhood.
A few Christmas items that make my heart warm and happy are:
1. Santa Ornament.
This ornament is made out of yarn by my Grandma Betty. It is such a neat little ornament because when you squeeze the jaw line together, the mouth opens up. It fits a Hershey's Kiss perfectly. We always made sure to put candy in his mouth and fill it regularly. Even as an adult I would always check it when I was home for Christmas. This year my Grandma made me one for my tree (and my brothers). So excited for my girls to enjoy this fun little ornament.

My Grandma Betty hand-stitched all of our Christmas stockings. Aren't they gorgeous? She said it takes her approximately 1 full month to make one - averaging 4 hours per day! These stockings mean so much to me. I would be DEVASTATED if something ever happened to one. I hope one day that the girls will appreciate them too.
Life isn't made up of big things, it's made up of a million little things. :)
