Mary Emma’s Writing Tip – Christmas Tree Memories

Writing Tip of the Week

Getting the Christmas tree often becomes an exciting family adventure…one you’ll want to write about so you will have those memories with you for future generations.  Family traditions create a great bond between the generations.

My grandchildren and their parents went to a tree farm/forest to cut down their tree today.  They made a family outing of picking it out a couple weeks ago.  Today it was snowing lightly, which added atmosphere to the event as they and their dog trekked through the white powder.

It reminds me of going to the woodland on our farm when I was a child to cut down our tree.  Father often tramped up there a week or two before and chose the tree.  As we got older, that was our task.

A family tree cutting outing creates memories that last a lifetime.

Why not write down your Christmas tree experiences…acquiring one, decorating it, enjoying the special activities surrounding it?  Do you take photos that you can include with your stories?  Perhaps you even write poetry about your Christmas tree.

This makes me realize I should write about the “Christmas Trees of My Life” for my family.
