Merry Christmas!!
Merry Christmas
Everyone!! Sorry for not blogging as
often as I should. My life has been
crazy and I know that yours has been too!
So I finally arrived at my parents for Christmas. A few years ago they moved to a smaller town
in Virginia. It is absolutely a
beautiful town that kinda of reminds you of the old Christmas towns that you
see in those Christmas cards, so nostalgic.
Anyways, this morning I was
the first one up and got my cup of coffee with Pumpkin Spice creamer (oh, how I
love that creamer, sometimes I’m half tempted to drink it out of the
container). I sat on my parents couch
and I was admiring their Christmas tree.
I started looking at the ornaments and was reminded of Christmas’
past. My eye finally came to my
favoritest (I know that’s not a word) of all!
It is a clay duck that we made when I was in kindergarten. The ornament is painted a copper color and it’s
scribed with my name on the front and my kindergarten school picture on the
back.
This ornament has standed the test of time. It is now over 25+ years old and it still glistens just like I remember it when I was 5 years old. I don’t know why it’s my favorite ornament; maybe because of the copper color and when I was 5 I imagined it was like an expensive gold piece. Or maybe it was the first Christmas ornament that I made and got to hang on our Christmas tree. Or maybe it’s the flood of memories that it brings. I don’t know exactly why but I absolutely love that ornament. I hope that the ornament lasts for another 25+ years.
