When my Mom passed away 10 years ago, I ended up with all her crap.
I spent a lot of time sorting thru pictures but don’t recall any of the aluminum Christmas Tree we had for several years, and now people look at me a little strange when I mention it.
To prove that they made such a creature, I present you with this infograph:
It began a couple years ago, as a way to make Christmas fun and unique. Snowflakes, each one is unique and so the tradition was born. In 2006 we had a paper snowflake contest, and each year the competition is turned up a few notches. In 2007 word went out to create a unique snowflake and win a prize. Brandon, Rachael, Josh and Madeline each brought their own creations and the voting resulted in a tie, broken by a debate and the money was handed out.
And so that everyone would be included that visited, Snowflake pajama’s were given out to one and all. Thanks to everyone that came over, called, played, and sang!
Here’s a group shot of the kiddo’s:
This year once again my wife Kathy created a new snowflake contest and in less than a month, we’ll gather and check out all the entries, vote, and someone will walk away with some extra cash!
What unique and special or weird traditions does your family do?
