My sister, Cathy, gave us this book the first year we were married! It has spaces for 25 Christmas entries. I am amazed that I have faithfully kept up on it all these years (just missed one). We love to look back through the years at all our wonderful Christmas memories and to "read" our own Christmas Story. I'm sure some of you have helped to fill these pages.
We started our story in 1990 and just finished writing this year's entry this morning. I find I have to write while the memories are still fresh. I've been able to include some pictures -- an extra Christmas card we sent -- and a copy of our Christmas letter, too. I love it!!! Great gift Thompsons -- we enjoy it EVERY year!

That book is probably like most the stuff that mom gets us three girls...afterward you wish you would have gotten one for yourself!! I'm so glad you've used it and have it for your family and really glad to have made it into the works this year! I'm so glad you came but it was WAY too short. Need days & days of sitting & talking. Let the planning begin! Love you lots!
What a great idea! I need to grab one of those.
It's funny because I have never seen or heard of this Christmas book until now!!! (along with some other things I learned on the trip :) ha! I would like to look through it next time I'm out there. Lovin' the look of the blog--very refreshing for the new year of blogmania!
Jessica!!! Do you have a little secret in that you are SMOKIN' SOMETHING? What do you mean you have never see the "Christmas Book?" Did you live with us growing up? Just wondering ...
