Our TSC for this week was to make a card that reflects a holiday tradition in our family. During the holidays, there is always music playing or being sung so I used the musical DP for my back ground. Another tradition I think is pretty unique is one my Mom started when we were tiny kids. She filled four stockings with trinkets, fruit, socks, etc. and hung them on our bedroom doors after we had gone to bed Christmas Eve. When us kids moved from home, that sweet woman would drive from house to house leaving our stockings on our front door steps and running away before we could catch her. She had great fun doing this and so did we. I've had this little die cut stocking from Creative Memories for many years and it just fit perfectly. We were also to use a rub-on so I used one as my sentiment. Merry Christmas y'all.

Oh, Tate! You really nailed this challenge!! The best part is your Christmas tradition stories! When I read how your mom left those goody-filled stockings on your door steps and got away before you could catch her, I just cried!! Aren't those memories of our moms just the most treasured things!! Merry Christmas to you, too, my sweet sistah!! LYMI
