More Ritual scrapbooking - this time the tradition of the children buying their annual tree decoration. The object of the exercise is to end up with a box of decorations that the children would then taken with them when they set up their own homes to start their trees with.
The little pull out tag explains that these decorations were purchased in Sydney and Olivia's is a disco ball and Kieran's .... well he was rather grumpy the day we bought these decorations so he literally walked into the Myer Christmas Shop grabbed the nearest decoration he could find and then walked out again! Amazingly they matched! And of course once he had stopped being grumpy he said he had wanted the star all along and therefore didn't see why he needed to look at every decoration in the shop when he had already made his decision!
The big question of course is .... will I let the kids take all these decorations with them when they leave home .... or indeed will I even let them leave home? It makes me sad already to think that one day they won't be living with us anymore ... yes I know ... insane and sad!
Perhaps that's the topic for another page.
Happy scrapbooking!
