When my first child was 4 years old, I decided to start a Christmas tradition that was inexpensive but fun. My son, Joe, was old enough to chew hard candy (with supervision). I bought him a "LifeSaver" Christmas box of LifeSavers that had a small ornament attached. I have continued this "Tradition" every year since 1969. Now I send a "LifeSaver" Christmas Box my two children, their spouses, and my grandchildren. A couple of years ago, I didn't send the "LifeSavers." Christmas morning, BOTH my children called and asked "Where's the "LifeSavers?" So now, the FIRST gift I purchase is a Christmas Box of "LifeSavers" for everyone, even though my son is now 40 years old and my daughter is 36.
My husband and I will search hi and low if necessary to see that our 3 kids get the Lifesaver Books at Christmas! After all our parents got them for us and it just wouldn't be Christmas without those Lifesavers!
Doris, That is a great idea. In our family one year, we started (by accident) the chocolate covered cherries tradition. Every year when my brother and his family and mine get together, one person gets a box of chocloate covered cherries. They all like them and we are never sure who is the "chosen one". Gets hard to keep track after all these years. The kids are in their 40s....LOL
