Twelve Traditions of Christmas: #1 Blessing Baubles

To herald in the season, the Mothers Together Blog will be chock-full of traditions and ideas to take home this Christmas.  Some are merry and jolly.  Others spiritual and sacred.  Adopt the ones that will draw you nearer to the ones and the One you love.

Tradition #1: Blessing Baubles
In the days or weeks leading up to Thanksgiving, in lieu of a "Thankful Tree," write what you are grateful for on Christmas ornaments with a gold paint pen.  Designate a different color of ornaments for each family member, and each year, bring out the same ornaments to record new blessings.  When you trim the tree on Thanksgiving or in the days following, hang your Blessing Baubles with gratitude in your heart for God's gifts.
