We are each of us angels with only one wing, and we can only fly by embracing one another.

December 11, 2014 Christmas Photo a Day
I’ve been at this Christmas Photo A Day for a while. It came about because I have spent every Christmas season since 1989 in retail. I was trying to find a bit of seasonal joy and motivation.

First, there were random blog posts about Christmas, and Christmas memories of mine. A bit of navel-gazing to be sure, but my reminiscing seemed to strike a chord with readers. Then I added some photos; the first year they were only emailed to my address book.
In 2009 I added this to my blog, and by 2011, it had become TRADITION! People often wonder how traditions are made. Doing something more than twice seems to do it! (But if the tradition isn’t working for you, change it up! Don’t worry, for the time being, this tradition is safe!)
Here are (almost) all the photos, over the years.
And these are some of my most treasured gifts. So, Throwback Thursday this week is taking a time machine back to an old blog post.

December 9, 2014 Christmas Photo A Day
My most treasured Christmas ornament. This was always on my grandmother’s tree (minus it’s protective enclosure) We helped to decorate every year, and in our WOW state of new and shiny fantastic-ness provided to us via color TV and advertisements, didn’t care for or appreciate these old things. Indeed, we couldn’t wait for the big, gaudy, thick tinsel garlands and satin balls to replace all those delicate items. And then the boxes wandered into the basement and were destroyed by time and carelessness, before I was old enough to understand.
What is the most interesting or valuable (
value, not monetary) ornament on your tree? Tell us the story about it.
