Tradition Tradition

---

This old gal…

Was in a Christmas quandary…have always given those daughters of hers…a Christmas ornament in their stockings…a bauble…to highlight the year…followed the tradition of days gone by…mouse collector me…each year…getting a cute little mouse ornament…for her future family tree…

Mama me began the perfect ornament search…when a thought hit…maybe…those grown up gals of mine…want to do their tree…their way…maybe it’s time…the ornament tradition…no longer be…a tradition…but maybe…it should start next year…after those Harry Potter fanatics…get this one last plastic…mystery ornament memory…

But then…just as this old heart…was letting go of the age old tradition…what to my wondering eyes should appear…a sign…sent by that youngest sweetie of mine…an ornament…a mouse ornament…whispering…Old Gal…no one is ever too old…for a Christmas tradition…and no tree is ever too small…for one…more…mouse…
​
And that daughter of mine…agrees…
