Each year my mom picks out a Christmas book for the kids to open usually around Thanksgiving. Then she finds/makes an ornament for them to hang on the tree. The idea is that when our kids leave home they will then have their own assortment of ornaments and Christmas books for their own homes. This year the kids got The Nutcracker book and each got a nutcracker ornament. In addition, my parents went on a cruise to Alaska this summer and brought back husky dog ornaments. The best part of this tradition is the excitement of my kids. They are so excited to open a new book and be able to read it. Then each year as we decorate the tree they talk about the ornaments they have received from grandma and grandpa.
