I just love it. We head off to a Christmas wonderland of a shop with sparkling lights and every Chistmas decoration you could imagine. Then we do coffee. Perfection.
We chose an ormament for the tree and then the children get one. And when they leave home one day, they take their ornaments with them. They will be like a marker or memory trail through their childhood and into adulthood.
This year Rupi chose his own ornament. Last year Dida helped him choose and I got him one the year before.
And this is what he choose. Hmmm. But it is HIS choice as his interior designer of a mother has to remind herself. So we dutifully bought him the red felt kiwi on a plain ply backing.
I chose an angel for Blossom's first ornament. And so the tree is decorated and the decorations up. Christmas is coming. And I am so excited I have trouble concentrating!

sooo funny...poor designer mamma ; )
Blossom's ornament is so cute
love and light
That is such a lovely idea! Especially them being able to take it with them when they leave home. Although with 2 boys I'd probably have double the randomness in the ornament choice - over the years that'd make one very eclectic looking Christmas tree LOL!
Yay I'm going to pick ours tomorrow, and let Turbo choose his of course. Am getting excited too! xx
