Family Craft Day

This past weekend our family gathered together to honour a tradition started by Mom many, many years ago. Family craft day is an event not to be missed. If you look around the homes of my siblings, you will note that many of the Christmas decorations gracing the walls, end-tables and trees were made on Craft Day. This year we made wonderful wire ornaments wrapped in the shape of stars, balls, snowmen, angels and more. Beads and stained glass were woven into the design, all with wonderfully unique results. 

For all the anticipation and stress of the Christmas season, I always look forward to this special day. Even my nieces and nephews still enjoy this day, and as they venture into their own apartments and start having families of their own, they feel even more compelled to carry this event into their futures. Family activities and gathering spell Christmas to me, and I’m so glad craft day is part of our family’s tradition.
