[happiness]

my mother in law used to make her own christmas crackers ,from bits of toys that kids got from luckybags .and use the toilet roll (used) and put inside it and wrap it.also a friend o mine decorate her tree.it called a tree of memories,
so for an example a soother was put on the tree to represent the child that used to have it ,then may be other bits but it all got to do with memories on the tree instead of baubles .i think it was an unusual but lovely idea.
i always make my own xmas wreathes for the door and then put it on a loved one grave afterwards so it gets used twice .
