Family Traditions

Last year was our youngest daughters first Christmas. In celebration we got one of the Party Lite Snow globes with the year on it. We thought of it as a very special gift that would bring her joy in the years to come as well as be something that she could one day pass on to her daughter. I was so excited about showing her her snowglobe as we unpacked more and more Christmas decorations. I was thrilled at the prospect and so certain that she would be as fascinated with this little globe of snow as she was with all the other Christmas glitz.

I was wrong. I know that in a couple of years she will be as fascinated with the snowglobe as her big brother is and in even a few more year return to the disinterest until one day she unpacks her snowglobe for her baby girl who will be just as completely UNfascinated with it as she is now.

Just remember that while the simple things are good, they do not compete with blinking lights and music. Except for the empty boxes on Christmas morning. There is just no competition for them!
