22. Thanks.
And that's a good idea, alternating years. Sometimes the family thing can be somewhat stressful, in trying to figure out who's going where. Sounds like you folks worked it out just fine.

12. XMAS time is alright.
I am not religious but I wish they just kept XMAS as a religious holiday. I mean, isn't that what it's suppose to be about?

It is a special season though. I like it for the sense of family and friends being together. I am fortunate to have a lot of family and friends for that matter. I like when we all get together at the holidays.
I also love New Year's. It brings closure to the year and then you get a fresh start in the new year!

But I do feel bad for people that have no one at the holidays.

Have a good one! :hi:

18. Oh that stinks
about your first ornament! You just have to go out and buy new ones! :hi:

Yeah, my Giants one is right next to my sis's Joe Montana one. She loved him.
You could only imagine our house back in the day when the Giants and the 9ers use to go at it!

I could imagine how your house is though Lions/packers! :bounce:

Here's my elf ornament, though, adorning my tree for the 40th time:

39. It's interesting. You can almost see someone's life's story on the tree...
Places, people, experiences are all reflected in the ornaments.
