Day 12 of 2017

When a habit becomes a tradition: 

For years I just didn't get around to taking the tree down 

until after the middle of January. 

Then one year M proclaims that we never take the tree down until after her birthday. 

Nope.  We don't.  That would be unheard of.  

So now the taking down of the tree after M's birthday (coming up very soon) 

is a tradition at our house.  

But before the tree comes down, I need to take the picture of myself in the ornament, 

an even newer tradition.
