Miss 12's cross stitch stocking made by my hubby's mother.
We've had many of our decorations for some time, some of mine particularly are quite old. My mother began the tradition with my brother and I to buy a decoration for each of us every year so when we moved out of home and had our own tree we would have decorations to decorate our tree and memories. Now that we've grown she still continues the tradition with our girls, they get excited each year when the receive a new decoration and when they pull out the others and remember them with fondness.
I hope you are enjoying getting into the festive spirit at your house♥
Playing along with Vic today too.
