Day 16: Tradition

Countdown to Fort Worth: Day 16

-Tradition-

Every year my mom, dad, and I hang all the ornaments on the tree. Probably one of my all-time favorite traditions of Christmas. Mom blares the music way too loud and dad and I sing along. Luckily we don't hear mom singing because the music is so loud...I guess thats why she does that! (trust me, it's a good thing). I just got back home from my parents house and hanging all the ornaments. First of all, the tree is HUGE. Nice work picking that one out Daddy-o. But the best part of hanging all the ornaments is seeing exactly what all the ornaments are. My favorite are the homemade ones and Andy, Chris, and I all made when we were little. I mean, it's really high quality stuff! But it's also fun to see the ornaments that we got on different vacations. Or ones labeled with the years my parents got them. I picked on up tonight that was a Pi Phi ornaments from 1989 Pi Phi Convention. I didn't even know I would be a Pi Phi then! Anyways, I love Christmas traditions. I know someday I won't be able to hang all the ornaments on the tree with my parents, so I guess I'd better soak it all up now.
