17 Dec Christmas Memories and the Little Red Truck by Brittany Nelson
As a child, my mom gave me an ornament for Christmas each year. It was fun adding a new ornament to the tree and I bragged that all the cool ones were mine. My mom always said I would love it as an adult because my tree would already be decorated – and it’s true!
Now that I’m a mom, I love carrying on this tradition with my son. When I look at my ornament collection, I love seeing how my childhood changed from year to year. From baseball to SpongeBob to puppies, I can see what meant the most to me each year. Now I give my son an ornament that represents something special to him. Last year his ornament was a red truck because that was the name of his favorite book at the time.
Whenever I see ornaments, it always makes me think of my mom and the fun tradition she created that I now get to pass on to my kids!
