“It’s rare for me to get excited about a newholiday recipeor trendy ideas fordecorating the tree,” Gaines wrote. “I’m not looking for ways to reinvent this season. Instead, all I want is to gather the same ingredients for the same belovedcinnamon rollsthat I’ve baked on Christmas morning for as long as I can remember.”
She added that the holiday is one her family looks forward to all year, and they decorate their tree with the same ornaments—including those that pay tribute to her kids’ first Christmases.
“I want to decorate our tree with our same ornaments that we ooh and ahh over each year,” she wrote. “Our tree could never be complete without the kids’ handmade offerings. And while the Popsicle-stick picture frames have cracked over the years, and the photos within them have faded—it only makes me love them all the more.”
