Family Tradition-Andrea

I have the pleasure of sharing a table with this sweet lady this year! Andrea shares-"Every evening of Christmas Eve after the extended family would leave our house we would make our own stars for Santa to find his way. My brother and I would draw a star on a piece of cardboard and my parents would cut it out and then we'd wrap it in tin foil and cover it with glue and glitter. My brother and I would each make one and then when it was dry we would place them at the top of the tree. We continued this tradition through high school or maybe even later. Bless my mother and the glitter mess she'd be left with after we went to bed. As if just having a house of 20-30 guests and getting ready for Christmas morning wasn't already enough. I can't wait to start this same tradition with my own family!

My moms kept most of them and its so funny to look at the changes in our artistic capabilities and sadly the later years when we started to lose the joy of it and the effort was no longer there".

Your mama sounds like one special lady, Andrea! How wonderful that you want to keep this tradition going with your own precious little girl! Thank you for sharing!

Take the time to love on your families a little extra this weekend!

~Be Blessed and be a Blessing~
