  1. Oh my gosh I love this! Hand-made Christmas ornaments from years past are my favorite part of Christmas. Plus, the kids get to go through them when they’re grown adults. The year we got my dad a med alert system (https://www.alert-1.com/), we all made gingerbread ornaments, and now they’re a reminder of how we look after each other. Happy memories.
