A new Christmas Tradition

When I was a little girl, every year my sisters and I would add links to an aluminum foil chain we used as our Christmas tree garland. It was cool to see the differences in each other's links in the chain. Mine were usually fat and big because that's how my hands worked. (I was little.) Heather's were pain-stakingly perfect, and Anita's were always smaller than mine from what I can remember. When we got older and moved out, Mom gave us each a section from the chain. Mine definitely was from the links that I made, big and fat. Well, I decided that this year, Mac was old enough to crush aluminum foil into long strands and link it into a chain. So we started his garland this year, and it hung on his Christmas tree that he had up in his room. (I will try to get pictures and post them.)
