Make a tradition of viewing all family photos and videos during the Holiday season. It’s fun seeing how everyone has changed and stirs warm memories.
Photo album
Cover a photo album with batting and Christmas fabric. Decorate with ribbon and bows. Leave it out on the table for everyone to view. Photos you may want to include:

Holiday Recipe Book
Purchase a small photo album that holds 4″ x 6″ photos. Decorate the cover. Fuse a small square of holiday print to the top corner of each 4″ x 6″ recipe card or rubber stamp a Holiday design and color it with colored pencils. Store your special Holiday recipes in the album-e.g. Sweet Potato casserole, Christmas Ham, candies, and cookies.
