Jarod's family has this tradition of collecting Halmark ornaments every year. Ever since he was little he got to pick an ornament and add it to the growing collection. Needless to say when we got married and started to decorate our tree it was stuffed with boy ornaments of sports stars and of course comic book heroes. He wanted to continue the tradition but I felt that if we did that the tree would always have the overbearing look of needing to be placed in the living room of a bachelor. He made a deal with me that for every one he got (or every year when we got ornaments) I would be able to get double of that. Ornaments from Halmark can be expensive! But as long as we had the money, money we saved just for Christmas over the year, I thought it couldn't hurt. This year he got two because there has never been a good spiderman one
accordi
ng to Jarod and the batman one was too neat to pass up. Being the softy I am, I let him get both. But there was no way I would be able to double that this year with our finances the way they are after the arrival of the baby in just over a month. However, we are adding to my growing collection of the precious moments disney princess editions. This year we found out they have two every year, a limited edition one and the typical one. Good thing they started last year... otherwise I would have a lot of catching up to do.
