I do not know how many years ago my mother started a tradition and has been carried on faithfully by my father since her death 13 years ago. Everyone has an apple on the Christmas tree, with their name. Over the years since we were young it has grown to include spouses, grandchildren, grandchildren spouses & great grandchildren. All were in attendance Christmas Eve, as our family grows the tree is almost all red with a couple of green branches showing: Mom, Dad, Patrick, Carol, Andrew, Jill, Luke, Robin, Tom, Tina, Chip,Carolina, Will, Abby, Ross, Hudson, Cole, Dino, Tina, Gabby, Bella, Doni, Dani. Thank you to everyone for making Christmas Eve Breakfast an evening to once again to remember.
Tried to comment yesterday and it wouldn't go anywhere.... I like this post. The apples started about 30 years ago right after I got married. They were a gift to Mom and Dad and we were not even half the group we are now. The apples are now very hard to find (ask Tina)but in demand every time we receive a new member. We did have a very good Christmas. They get crazier and more fun every year!
