I absolutely do! It is a Snoopy ornament that says “Christmas 1978”. It’s a souvenir my father bought for me during our first trip to America. It was Easter time, but we got the ornament at a store in Disney World that sold Christmas items all year long. I was 10, and I love how it reminds of that totally epic adventure. We’re celebrating Christmas in Spain this year and that ornament is coming with us.

My favorite ornament is a little gingerbread house that my best friend made for me out of clay and plastic. When I place it on the tree every year, I am reminded of the beauty of our friendship and the joy I find in it.

I do have a favorite and it is a teddy bear — red — from Switzerland when we lived there. We all love it; it reminds us of a special time as a family living abroad and having to navigate a new culture and language together. It wasn’t easy, but we bonded over it and we were forever changed by the chance to see the world from a different perspective.

My favorite ornament is one that my daughter, who is now grown, made when she was in preschool. It has her tiny handprint on it, so whenever I see this ornament I’m flooded with beautiful memories from that precious time in our lives.

I do! It is a miniature cigar that was given to me as a gift when I gave up smoking cigars several years ago. Each time I see it, it reminds me how lucky I am to have lived another year, and that if I had continued to smoke cigars, that might not be the case.
