I'm pretty sure this is our only family holiday tradition, because we Kennedys are pathetic like that.<br /><br />To be honest, we actually had a different 2003 ornament. It was three individual snowmen with our names on them. We still have them, but having three ornaments for one year bugged me for some reason, so the next year I found the mitten, wrote 2003 on it and the rest is history. I guess I kind of fudged that on a bit. Can't help it if I'm so fickle. :)Alisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13525780741420745603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7934244054499048495.post-66713205149851706232010-12-12T20:45:44.584-05:002010-12-12T20:45:44.584-05:00I love all the stories.

Have been doing it since I came into the Marine Corps in 2000. My favorite is the drill instructor Santa Claus ornament (complete with campaign cover!) that represented one of the Christmases I spent stationed at Parris Island, SC.Sarahhttp://camouflagedinpink.comnoreply@blogger.com
