Favorite Ornament

Pink Saturday has arrived again! It's amazing how quickly the week goes sometimes, it seems like yesterday I was posting about a Christmas memory.
Beverly at How Sweet the Sound has given us subjects to write about on our post and has also let us know it's okay to publish just pink.
This week the subject is about our favorite ornament. I can say I adore and cherish the ornaments my grandmother made for me when I was a kid, each year when I remove them from their place of hiding I am so gentle, so reminiscence and so pleasant spirited when I place them on the tree. It would be hard for me to choose.
In keeping on the same vein of thought, my knees go weak at a beautifully handmade ornament. The creativity and time it takes to make a sparkle spot on a green tree flabbergast me sometimes.
But in recent years though I have to say, my faves have changed (it's so hard to choose), hummmm....well, I've seen my kids mature from year to year, I've seen the hopes and dreams they have had, the wants and wishes, and the amazement and awe of it all. I've experienced all this along with them and I have to say since my daughter has spent two years being a soldier for the Maine State Ballet, my current favorite ornament is the Nutcracker. It's a beautiful timeless story of childhood wonderment. Merry Christmas to all. C&G Design
