And was promptly met with derisive laughter.
My homemade Christmas ornaments have been a running joke in my family ever since. Admittedly, they are . . . mediocre. No matter. I hang them on the tree faithfully every Christmas, while patiently explaining that my love for them has little to do with the ornaments themselves. Instead, I love them for the happiness and memories they evoke.
And so it is that this Halloween, I'll anticipate a new round of commentary. Because I've created a first collection of Halloween tree ornaments using the same tried and true method of years past. And come October, I'll patiently explain that it's not the ornaments themselves that I adore. It's the love of Halloween that is a part of each one of them. And if they continue laughing, I'll replace the miniature chocolate bars in their treat bags with raisins.
