Grateful for happy holiday memories

Normally I wait until after Thanksgiving to put out Christmas decorations, but I have friends coming to stay and since I now store my most fragile ornaments in the guest room, needed to unpack these.  The Santa, reindeer, sled, and packages were on display in my Mom's house at Christmas for as long as I can remember.  The glass reindeer now missing most of the silver coating are from my grandmother (Mom's mom) and the Santa is from my great grandfather (on my Dad's side.)  I am always grateful when I unpack the reindeer and the remaining ones are still in one piece.  I am sure many of you have similar Christmas or Hannukah decorations that bring a smile.
