One of the
greatest things about family traditions is they usually don't start out to be a
tradition. One that our family stumbled on was our Christmas photo cubes. I
usually send out family photo Christmas cards so I originally purchased the
cubes to preserve the family photos. Over time I added some retro family
Christmas pics.
Here's the fun
part, my three children have so much fun with these cubes. When no one is
looking each of them take turns rotating each of the cubes to a photo of
themselves. I have always kept the cubes eye and hand level for their age and
they love seeing themselves. And at anytime you can walk past the display and
see 'all Frankie pics' or 'all Abigail pics'.
These photo
cubes can be picked up in any store that sells picture frames, mine came from
Michael's. They are sold in glass or acrylic (a.k.a. plastic). I have the
acrylic version and couldn't be happier. The glass ones are much heavier and
because the kids play with them so often, I don't have to worry about them breaking
the glass.
Because we live
in Texas and
our summer's get so warm this is the only Christmas decorations that I store in
the house and not the hot attic or garage. Otherwise the heat and humidity
would melt the picture to the plastic.
And they observe many other traditions . . .

What a great idea!
