Traditions

favorite-ornaments-2012 By far my favorite part of Christmastime is decorating the tree with all the beloved, delicate ornaments passed down from my Grandmother. These are some favorites, but really it's hard to pick a favorite.


tailer-of-G-book Another favorite part is The Tailor of Gloucester. This is my favorite page.
I'm really happy someone finally uploaded this audiobook version to youtube! It's read by Meryl Streep and I loved it so much as a kid and listened to it so often that the cassette tape is totally worn out and the audio is all wobbly sounding! Anyway, I highly recommend it! (you can find parts 2 here, and 3 here)
