Memory Holiday Ornaments

• As we pull ornaments out each year, memories of the past and hopes for the future come with them. They herald in the holidays and help us celebrate old traditions and start new ones.
• Add some colored bulbs to grandma's vintage ornaments to make them really special. The color palettes for this season are versatile and exciting, from ruby red to bright fuchsia down to the aubergines.
• Decorate a kitchen wreath with fruit and vegetable ornaments or make one with a fishing theme for dad.
• Give a child a new ornament each year so that when they have their own tree, they can fill it with all the special gifts from the past.
