ornaments. Add a new decoration and its an event to remember.
For instance, the star at the top of our tree has been adorning Christmas trees for 74 years. It was given to me on my first Christmas by a lady with whom my dad worked. Her name is long forgotten but not her kindness.
The star is not alone. Each decoration carries not only an individual memory but a shared memory as well. Each year my granddaughters decorate our tree and that shared family experience is etched into their memories, there to be recalled on seeing the box of ornaments.

I imagine family ornaments are scattered among my other siblings. I don't mark Christmas.
