Holiday traditions keep families together and we have ours. This makes the sixth holiday season that we have made festive decorations that now hang in the doorway to the family room and it has become a tradition with everyone contributing an ornament or two each year. It's so simple using the super sculpey that cooks in the kitchen oven on a very low heat and then cures and gets hard as it cools. This year we made Charlie Brown and his Christmas tree, Rudolph the red nosed raindeer, a Christmas candle and tiny tree, a nutcracker, a poinsettia, a Christmas basket and a holly branch to add to all of our other decorations from years past. Pretty soon the ornaments will extend all around the room! We also made a "group" holiday wreath with everyone taking turns to add something to the wreath. It was fun watching the wreath build out. We made a few adjustments as some things didn't work and other things were added. In the end it had pine cones, bells, white poinsettias, little drums and sprigs of berries adorning the seasonal greenery. I think that it is a beautiful wreath and another beautiful holiday tradition. Happy holidays from our family to yours!
