Christmas Memory Box
During a year my fiancĂ©e and I leave lots of little love notes to each other, collect tokens of our dates, take pictures, save trip mementoes and menus, and so on. So, every year I take a box about the size of a boot box, and decorate it. (We like to travel so I decorate the boxes with little maps, etc.) I also take an X-acto knife to open a slot in the box large enough to slide little envelopes and things through. We keep the box in the bookcase all year and fill it with all of our goodies and notes. By Christmas it’s completely stuffed and heavy. Also by that time we can’t even remember everything in there. On Christmas Eve we open the box and spend hours looking through everything we put in there all year long. No matter how many surprises and gifts there are under the tree, this box will be the most special one to be opened as well as a wonderfully romantic tradition for every Christmas together.
