While putting away ornaments yesterday, I realized again that I need to write down what is special about several ornaments on our tree. We have several from my parents' first Christmas together, some from my very first Christmas, from our wedding year, some ornaments in memory of people who have passed on, etc. I know this information, but my kids may forget some day and see them as just 'old ornaments'. So I just finished writing a description and what is special about these ornaments and will keep a copy in the ornament boxes as well as in my Christmas notebook. Maybe my DS14 would take photos of the ornaments to add to the documents with his new camera!
I also just finished writing down which ornaments my children have gotten for which Christmasses. We buy each child an ornament every Christmas, like many of you do, but I haven't kept a running journal of whose ornaments are whose. Now I have a journal to add to each year! I'd been putting all of this off, thinking that it would take too long, but it only took me 20 minutes or so. Now all I have to do is add a line every year to keep the journals up to date!

That would be nice to bring out each year
