Christmas Table Gifts

Hi all!

I hope you had a lovely Christmas.

I had a wonderful Christmas with my family.

I had dinner at my home with just my kids and

their significant others, so there were

6 of us here.
I know I've posted before that when I have a holiday

meal of some sort, I like to have some kind of little

gift or favor for my guests, and today was no different.

But today was actually more special, because it was Christmas

and I really wanted something special for each person.

I decided to make little ornaments for them all, including 

my hubby and myself.

I made these glittered ornaments and put a different

'symbol' on each one.

I wrote up a little note telling them why I chose that particular

symbol, rolled it up and put it in the loop at the top of the ornament 

Dave set the table for me and I added the little ornaments

 to each persons place setting.

On the fronts of the ornaments I put the vinyl cut out

of the symbol I chose for them.

This is the one for Dave.

Some of the meanings may be obvious, some may not

be so obvious. Dave's has a Celtic symbol with a heart

for our love, it has no beginning and no end.

On the back sides I put the year.

This is the one I made for myself, it's hard to see

but it has the infinity sign, one side has 2 hearts in it

the other says 'family'

The mother and child is what I chose for my daughter,

Kelsie, for obvious reasons, 

but not only is she my daughter,

she is also one of my best friends.

This symbol that means loyal was what I chose for 

Jason, Kelsie's boyfriend.  I see him as a very loyal

person.

My son, Jaryd, received one with the intertwined hearts,

showing his love for his fiance and his family.

Sara, Jaryd's fiance, has a Celtic anchor on hers,

this symbolizes her love for the water and her Irish 

heritage.

I think they all liked their ornaments and the notes

explaining what they meant to me.

It was a little simple gift that conveyed my love for

each of them.

Thanks for stopping by today,

I hope you'll stop in again soon.

You never know what you'll find on
