A tradition in my family from when I was little my mom tried to do, she tried to buy ornaments for all her kids every year. We grew up really poor and had no money. I think I had 5 ornaments that I got for my very first Christmas tree.
When I was very first married to my ex I started to do this too because we didn't have anything to put on our Christmas tree. Every year since I became a mom I bought my children an ornament. Some years I would let them pick out the ornament, but most years I buy them something that they are into.
Like my youngest loves Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, my only daughter wants to be a cowgirl when she grows up, my oldest loves football and penguins. He knows the football part annoys me, but that is a story for another time! And of course for my BBQ King I got him the smoker with ribs on it!
One of my kids loves batman; his ornament is at grandmas house! He is the hard one to shop for since he has few things he is into, books and batman! This kid of mine has only books on his Christmas list, hard cover ones! He even told me Kindle gift cards for books doesn't count! I told him in return, why because you want more books for your bookshelves so you can start your own personal library? He just smiles big! I could read his thoughts, great idea mom!
Merry Christmas!
