Despite the hard work and problems with having a hotel with no general manager, Rod and I have found time to get in some of my favorite Christmas Houston sites.
Galleria and Highland Village top the list.

Mom started a great tradition for all of her granddaughters when they were each born. Every year from age one to age eight, she would buy them a Christmas charm from James Avery. When they turned 8, she would have them put on a bracelet. I continue the tradition for the little girls. Emily got her bracelet last year. Josie and Lindsey are left to buy for. This year, I got them different charms. I keep up Mom's list that shows what she has bought for more than the last decade for the girls.

When Rod and I went to James Avery, there was a line out the door. He didn't believe it but there really was. Such a fun tradition to shop there.
That tree is just spectacular! And what a sweet aunt you are, to carry on such a lovely tradition! I bet your Mom loves that!
ReplyDeleteLove, love, love James Avery. Novalie wears my old dangle rings now.
