Jo Ann tells the story of a memorable Christmas when she was five-years-old and her Swedish grandmother gave her the gift of tradition. Enjoy this warm and happy holiday memory.

Lessons Learned

• It is important to bring out and pass on traditions from the past and pass them on to future generations in our family. And if you don’t have traditions to pass on, start your own traditions.
• Gather as families during the holidays and share stories of Christmas past or stories of our ancestors.
• Pass down ornaments from grandparents to grandchildren
• Traditions are often something that have brought you love or joyful feelings.
• If you have a favorite Christmas memory, write it down so it can be passed on to future generations as well. (And this would be a great Christmas gift to give to your family.)
