We asked: How
do you keep your
holidays fresh?
Over the years we have decked
out our home with traditional
decorations, but some of our new
displays have significantly more
meaning for us since we just
completed our second adoption
in Russia. Our family room tree is
decorated with Matryoshka dolls
and Faberge-inspired glass eggs,
and we have a collection of
Russian Santas on the mantel. It's
beautiful and reminds us of
what's important.
Michelle McCann, Pittsburgh, PA
Every year we get together with
our brother and sisters and my
mother-in-law and cousin for a
theme dinner. No one knows
what it is until they get their
letter telling them what to make.
Everyone looks forward to it.
This year's theme was Christmas
in New England
Mary Kay Sheley, Brockport, PA
