When I was a child important traditions apart of Christmas included searching the family farm for the perfect scraggly cedar Christmas tree, a giant family gathering celebrating my great grandmother's birthday, and gathering with my cousins to usually make salt dough ornaments. Now that I have my own children these traditions are being recycled with a blend of my husband's own traditions (hiding a pickle ornament within the Christmas tree). We don't have a family farm nearby to hunt for that essential tree, but we are able to adjust according to availability. Even though many topical events and activities are canceled we make the best of it smiling along while hopefully making many wonderful memories. We even managed to have a brief parade proclaiming the arrival of our trees showcased our very own pageant snow fairy.

I love that you and your beautiful family are continuing warm hearted traditions and making wonderful memories with your children. Traditions and rituals help ground us in an everchanging world and draw us a little closer to each other! Thanks for sharing this Spring!
That last comment was from me, Joe Denton. Just trying to figure out this format.
