Christmas Memories Book

[Cheryl Ashcraft]

When Jay and I got married in 1993, we were gifted a Christmas Memories Book. I remember filling out the pages that first year, unable to think that 20 years of marriage would fly by. We had to purchase a new book, and now we are in year 12 of the new one.

It has a spot for visitors to sign in when they visit, but if I've forgotten to have them sign, I'll not the visitors we had as well as others we visit.

It has spots for Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, for you to document activities and meals/snacks. You can put your favorite Christmas card and above that, there's a spot for a family photo. When I'm scrapping Christmas photos, it's always nice to pull the book out and read what we did and when.

Unfortunately, the book is no longer in print and the second hand prices for used is too high for me. I did find some other ones on Amazon (by searching "Christmas Memories Book"), including a 12x12 one that I think I'd like to have more room.

Even if you don't have a book like this, I think these prompts would be great pages to include in your December album.

Oh my goodness, what a treasure to have! You are amazing for keeping up with it all these years. I hope you find just what you are looking for to replace it. . .and maybe something even better.

I was gifted a book similar to this by my late aunt years ago. I think it's a Thomas Kincade book. I haven't used or even looked at in years. Thanks for reminding me I have it!

This is such a treasure! It must be so fun to look back and re-live those memories!

That sounds so wonderful. I love that you actually use it - and look back on it - every year. I hope whatever new book you find to continue the tradition lets you expand on all the memory keeping.

I have never heard or seen these before! It sounds amazing! I would love something like this - but my problem would be keeping up with it.

I think this is something we could also create - ie. make pages/layouts and print as photo book. Then complete each year. Hmmmm - I'm adding this to my think about/to do list!
