Trimming the tree is a wonderful Christmas tradition, and many other traditions can arise from the basic concept of ornaments. Yearly, dated ornaments are designed for children and adults, and a wonderful tradition is to buy your kids a Christmas ornament for every year.…
You can start a new tradition this year with homemade Christmas ornaments. Make this an activity with your children or grandchildren, resulting in both quality time and an inexpensive gift. An easy way to make your own ornaments can be made with a recipe baked like cookies. The recipe consists of the spices of your choice, but usually includes cinnamon. Applesauce is added to act as the binding agent. The dough is made into a ball, rolled out, and shapes can be made with cookie cutters. Be sure to make a hole for a ribbon to hang the ornament. They are not baked, but dried, and take about one to two days to reach the desired hardness. The result is a unique gift and ornament, and adds the scent of baking Christmas goods to the home.
