Building family traditions
Building family traditions is usually something that happens when specific actions are passed from one generation to the next. However, beautiful family traditions can also evolve from an averted disaster. This is one such story about how a young family whose frenzied working mother forgot to mail her precious children’s Christmas letters to Santa Claus at the post office. The letters were discovered by her four year old son on Christmas Eve and disaster struck. He knew that Santa wouldn’t be coming to their house because Santa had no way of knowing the content of her son’s letter. Seeing the tears in her son’s eyes gripped this mother and there was no way she could allow her forgetfulness to ruin her young children’s precious Christmas. So she buckled down and figured out the best way to get Christmas messages to Santa and the result was the most magical Christmas ever.

Prologue
This prologue page was the original scrapbook page that I had created solely for my son and daughter. This is obvious by the hand edit of the comma after the word “small” and is kept this way in the scrapbook as a reminder of a simpler time.
