I've never been asked to bring it since.Lauriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04235845267916935603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24070621.post-89208885669331978972006-12-19T12:33:00.000-06:002006-12-19T12:33:00.000-06:00I can just imagine that Williamsburg drum... and a...I can just imagine that Williamsburg drum... and all the rest of the ornaments from around the world. What a treasure!<br /><br />Lol, OK I'll admit it... Christmas traditions sometimes bore me. I like to inject new items into the menu, add new faces to the table and so on. I suppose that's a function of my creative side. OK, so I'm a little odd! :~)Susannahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12090290482455881323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24070621.post-89789293525161717832006-12-19T00:39:00.000-06:002006-12-19T00:39:00.000-06:00Yes...great point, Laurie.

I like that!<br /><br />And how great for your kids that they have such wonderful ornaments from all over the world!Tammyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13932066100979969014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24070621.post-83913537239464459402006-12-18T23:17:00.000-06:002006-12-18T23:17:00.000-06:00Dana-I agree 100%.

To me it just heightens the fact that we need to spend time with family a little more and having traditions ensures that.SGRChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04651008074403429632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24070621.post-65943359623284200122006-12-18T13:46:00.000-06:002006-12-18T13:46:00.000-06:00I enjoyed this entry.

It makes sense...we deliver or hand over certain ways of doing things. But at the same time, as the recipient of these things, we must sometimes analyze them and not cling so tightly to them that we raise them to a status they shouldn't achieve.Hanley Familyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07363108115499781703noreply@blogger.com
