Capturing Holiday Traditions in Your Adoption Journal

The trees, flowers and plants we use in our landscape are designed to provide beauty and attract birds, bees and butterflies.  As the Christmas season approached we thought, “Why not put a Christmas tree on the patio for our wildlife.” So we bought an inexpensive tree.  Then one evening as a family, we sat by the fire and made garland by stringing cranberries and popcorn.  Using cookie forms we made ornaments out of bird seed.  Decorating it with lights, we enjoy it at night through the windows in our family room.  Now we have a fun new holiday tradition that draws our family together and feeds the birds outside our window.
