For some families, decorating the tree is a walk down memory lane.
There are ornaments brought home from travels, made by little hands at school and purchased to commemorate occasions or accomplishments (baby’s first Christmas or a new house, perhaps). Maybe there’s a shark or three because sharks are a child’s favorite animal, or a yellow Lab remembering a beloved pet.
This year, with so many of us staying home, there might not be a new ornament from a fun family trip. And, with so many kids learning at home, no new school-made ornaments. So, to represent 2020 in years to come on your Christmas tree, you might want to make your own.
