Tip of the Week – A New and Easy Christmas Tradition!
Each year, when we bring home our Christmas tree, my husband saws an inch or so off of the trunk so that there is a fresh surface to absorb water in the tree stand. These sawed off “tree circles” have ended up in our fireplace, but no more! I recently came across a very simple and sentimental idea to turn those wooden “circles” into treasured ornaments!
Once the circle has been sawed from the tree trunk, wrap a thin length of wire around the disk and twist it into a loop on top for hanging. Cover the wire by gluing ribbon, rick rack, faux greenery, pom poms or whatever fun trim you have handy, around the edge! Document the year on one side with a permanent marker or paint and add a Christmas photo on the other side! Voila – you’ll have a meaningful and sentimental record of Christmas 2008 and you can continue the tradition in the years to come!

I love, love, love this idea! I really like the thought of keeping a piece of each year’s Christmas tree! Thanks so much for passing this on!! : )
That is a great idea. Wish we would have thought of that about 35 years ago. Kuddo’s to your creative idea!!
