My oldest sister started giving me an ornament every year after i got married, so i do that with my kids now. My eldest went through a divorce and her ex threw away her Christmas box when he emptied the house while she was gone. She was devastated so i gave her all the ornaments that my sister had given me from when she was a baby to start her new collection. I travel for work so i buy each of my 6 kids and my sister ornaments from where ever i am. So this year, Hawaii and Germany.
