Finding your own happiness in holiday traditions

After the initial placement of the first ornament, Jack started to get the hang of it.

He and Daddy started on the low branches using unbreakable ornaments made of wood or straw or plastic.

This worked well until Jack saw two ornaments that his Grandma Ruth gave us before he was even born. They were two classic cars in bright Christmas red. Jack is a fool for cars, so he didn't understand why in the world we would put something like that up on a tree.
We reached a compromise. One on the tree and one in the panoply of cars that keep him happy and sassy all the day long.
Don't be surprised in a couple of years if you walk in and see a tree done completely in NASCAR paraphernalia.....
