In our home we had certain traditions, my mom always made up the tree on the first of December and all of us helped, we also took turns each year to put the star up, and that had to go on last!
I think that it is so important to have family traditions like that, it provides loads of memories and I think for a family it just brings everyone closer.
I read about the absolutely great tradition on two of my favourite blogs, please visit them, Momma's Playground and Three A's and a C. They have this great idea of giving each child a Christmas ornament each year, by the time your kiddos leave the house they have their own collection of ornaments to take with for their very first tree! I just loved this idea and I decided to start with this immediately. I went out and bought Little Mouse two ornaments as we skipped last year.
Here they are!

this is a fabulous idea!
What a wonderful tradition to start! And very, very cute ornaments, too!
We also do this :) Except we specifically buy them an ornament that has something to do with them that year. Like last year Connor was very into music (esp guitars) so we found a guitar ornament for him and this year we bought him a Toy Story one b/c hes sooo into it right now! Hmm, maybe i should post about this tradition too?
