I put up and decorated the Christmas tree yesterday. Lower ornaments in place have no wire hangers and are not breakable. Rather than try to keep my 18-month-old grandson from taking ornaments off the tree, I've decided to let him have at it. Free rein. Bat those ornaments around. Take them off and play with them. Christmas is meant to be enjoyable and there is so much I find unenjoyable about the hype of the season that I don't want to add one more negative thing by constantly yelling, "No! Don't touch!" We might as well scream, "Christmas!" and spray him with water.
The ornaments are shiny and beautiful and children are drawn to them. So, have fun, Vale. Merry Christmas.
