    Ah, it is. It's the first day of autumn! A time for hot chocolatety mornings, and toasting marshmallow evenings, as best of all, leaping into *leaves*!

    Something we started doing when the kids were little after Christmas we take all the ornaments off the tree and leave the lights on and then put balloons and party hats and streamers on it for New Years.  We started having a New Year Party with them when they were small, it usually happened at about 8pm because they were little and we had the sparkling grape juice and crackers, popcorn and cheese or pretzels for snacks....The kids loved it and they remember it now...

    Oh, that is cool.  I like that idea.

    Do you remember those "glass" ornaments?  We had dozens of them when I was younger.  So pretty, but dangerous, even when you were careful, they broke so easy.

    I still have glass ones and some are from when I was little...I have a couple of the little ornaments that were on my first Christmas Tree...a tiny stocking and a snowman.

    My favorite ones are the ones that my children made in school with paper and macaroni or on jar lids...  

    Oh wow, that is fantastic.  I am not sure if my mom still has a few or not.  I think that one day she threw them all out, but I could be wrong.  So glad that you have those as well as the ones your children made as a keepsake.

    May this FriendSHIP always have wind in its sails and a sunrise on the horizon.

    But I was going to ask you all - what is the earliest Christmas memory you have?   I remember shopping with my mom when maybe 4 yrs old.  And pointing to a life sized newborn baby doll.   And wanting it.  But no, couldn't buy it that day.

    And then it was one of my Christmas presents!   So loved that dolly.

    I remember when I was about 4 waking up Christmas morning to my brother who had been away in the military sitting under our tree ....my mom didn't even know he was coming home

    I know she was so happy!!!

    yes she was....he had been stationed in Germany and it had been a long time since we had seen him

    Oh, my gosh!  how wonderful April.

    Luv reminded me that when my children were very young - 2 and 5 maybe...we had moved to Minneapolis and it was our first Christmas away from our home state and families close by.  And money was tight.  We had a nice big tree and lights, yes, but we made most of the ornaments and for the angel...

    I wrapped a white chiffon scarf around little girl's Barbie Doll - and made some wings...paper towel cardboard tube made it perch on top of the tree!!
     

    Oh I love that story

    Nope. lol

    I actually like it when there is frost on the trees.  They sparkle and shine in the sunlight. I would take this over the snow. LOL

    I've loved your memories.    What a special bunch you all are!

    But I must head to real life and get some things done before going to bed

    Love to all who stopped by here tonight...to post or just to quietly join the party.    And Merry Christmas to all who celebrate it.
