The Taste Tester and I got our tree after climbing up and down the mountain several times. And now it’s all lit up and decorated. Taking the ornaments out of the box brings back great memories.

Of vacations taken.

Of things my grandmother made.

Of years spent with The Taste Tester and fun things we've done.

Of crafts my mother did.

 Do you have an ornament collection? Good memories tied up with the decorations? A tree-selecting tradition? Do tell.
