Our family is very serious about celebrating the seasons and holidays. We have garden flags for EVERYTHING. My daughter hangs signage she makes with her Cricut and decorations inside the living room. Summer is still here, but we’ve already had the conversation about what the kids will dress as for Halloween!

In early September, she will be eager to put out all her decorations, including my contribution—a tree filled with Strangling fairy ornaments. Something else I collect. I currently have twenty of them. Isn’t this one cute?

I’d love to hear whether you decorate or have some family tradition to mark the holidays. And have fun with the puzzle!
