These sweet ornaments hold a lot of sentimentality in our home. Michael always makes sure that they are hung front and center on our tree. They belonged to his maternal grandparents and he remembers them hanging on their tree when he was little. AND, his mother remembers them when she was young as well. Mike remembers playing with the Santa and Mrs. Claus as if they were ice skating around the room before his granny would put them on the tree. He says one of the biggest highlights of Christmas at his Granny and Papaw's house was playing in all the wrapping paper in the floor after the gifts were opened! One year, his Papaw bought all of the grandsons a police car that lit up and made loud siren sounds. He said it was a special Christmas and that they had so much fun making all of the sirens go off at one time! If you are any good at math at all, you can see that these ornaments are probably well over 40 years old...and we just adore them. It means so much to me that my mother-in-love shared them with us and trusted us to take care of them. The boys look forward to seeing them on the tree every year and we always hang them side-by-side...very sweet, Christmas memories and traditions.
