Several days ago, I promised more about our family Christmas traditions. But then a study was released about temper tantrums in toddlers. So I wrote a post about that.  And Michelle Duggar had a miscarriage, so I wrote a post about losing a baby.

So, back to family Christmas traditions. We made Christmas ornaments almost every year.  One year we used a baked dough, with red and green macaroni pieces in the white dough. Those lasted for about 10 years, before they completely crumbled.  I wish I had at least one  of them, to photograph, so I could show you what they were like.

Another year, we "baked" stained glass ornaments, from a kit. The children sprinkled little beads into the metal frames and we popped them in the oven.  The beads melted and formed what looks  like stained glass.

But, for a number of years, we made cinnamon ornaments.

Lt. Col. Rick Clifton, our nephew,is now in Iraq from Kuwait. He is helping to get the US military equipment out of Iraq for the US departure from that country. Please pray for Rick and ALL of our troups in harms way. Their Christmas will be spent defending all of us and our freedom to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ.

Thank you Trinity for caring.
