Cards of Christmas Past

As I reflect on Christmas' past, all the memories flood my mind and make my heart sing. These memories are so near and dear to my heart.

There were Christmas' when I was a kid, where I was wrote a letter to Santa, leaving out cookies and milk for him, and carrots for his reindeer; spreading reindeer food on the front lawn making sure every single part of the lawn was covered to make sure he saw my house.  I remember sharing Christmas with my whole family- the aunts, uncles, cousins and in-laws at someones house and the joy that there was love and family and  joy. There were Chrstimas' spent at home, sometimes with my grandma and aunt and parents; sometimes with just my parents. There were Christmas' that I received the gift I had been wanting all year; gifts I didn't know I wanted and some gifts that were total surprises. There was one Christmas, a boyfriend told me he loved me for the first time and there was that one time where I got stuck in the bathroom because I was so stressed, I slammed the door and it jammed. Every Christmas memory is forever in my memory- the good and the bad. 

This year for Christmas, my parents continued our tradition of taking a special photo for our Christmas Card. While tomorrow I will reveal this year's card, today I am sharing past Christmas cards. We have been doing this tradition since 2011 and I am SO happy we have continued it for so long.
