My mom gives us kids a new ornament every year. It's very tough for me to put them on the tree without shedding a tear because of a memory or whatnot.
Some of my favorites include a little angel with brown hair (just like me) that was painted onto wood. I think that was one of my ornaments from Bell and Lloyd (our landlords when I was 3). Another is of micky mouse dressed like a wizzard. That was the first ornament my mom gave me. And a few others include a ballerina and toy solder painted onto those old clothes pins. They have some little outfits too and they're just precious!
God, I'm gonna miss living at home and having our family Christmas tree
