For several years, I made a Christmas Grinch tree.

What fun it was playing Grinch music as I placed the Grinch and Maxx and adorable ornaments on the branches. Everyone received a Grinch gift wrapped in ugly green paper. It was such fun. I hope she has as much fun with them as I did. The very first Christmas I can remember is when I was 4, but soon to be 5. It was the last Christmas my family spent in Shawano before moving to Marion.
The Straits Times
We lived in a house on the corner of Lieg and Evergreen Streets. I received two gifts. I remember how excited I was seeing my new dolly buggy.

It was not wrapped but had a big bow on it. There was also a wrapped present from Santa for me.

I opened it and quickly put it back in the box. I remember crying uncontrollably. Children were warned, if you were naughty you would get coal from Santa. Well in that box was a baby doll, a black doll.
My mother and I talked about that Christmas when I was older. She told me how terrible she felt. She thought the doll was adorable with her curly hair and pink pajamas. Sometimes the best intentions can go awry. I wish I still had that doll, but my black Raggedy Ann is a treasured part of my collection.
She has a prominent spot in my cabinet where she sits smiling back at me. While both sets of our parents were living, we spent Christmas Eve at my folks in Marion and Christmas Day at my in-laws.
Christmastime brings up memories of past holidays
We always went to Christmas Eve candlelight service as a family. Shawano, WI Phone: Lorna Marquardt is a former Shawano mayor. Five years later I pulled them out and really gave them a good scouring, smoothing the manes on the toy ponies and gluing the kittens back into baskets. The result was a pretty decent collection of Keepsake ornaments that were restored enough to go back on a tree. I surprised each daughter with her set of ornaments that were believed to be lost forever, and their pleasure was a gift I held close.
Our Christmas ornaments are more than just a style statement or color coordinated way to dress our homes for the holidays.

They represent family traditions, sentimental memories, or a snapshot of a moment in time. The stories they tell may not even be our own, they may be the stories of a stranger who lived many years before us.
But nevertheless, they tell a story. And when our ornaments become part of our own story, we are creating a tradition that hopefully will spark joyful memories for many Christmases to come.
