A matter of years ago Kday and I receieved an ornament for our tree and I dubbed it as the "wishing ball." Not quiet sure if it's the true purpose of this little red ball ornament but I began a little nonsense tradition of writing down a wish, folding it up and locking it away inside the little red ball. It sits on the tree soaking in all the Christmas spirit and then it quietly hides away in the attic all year until next Christmas.... and when it's time to decorate the tree again the following year, the proof is in the ball.
Last year I decorated the tree while watching the movie "Eat.Pray.Love" and I remember jotting down a simple wish and slipping it into the ball - to be opened in 2011. I'm such a sucker for superstitions and you'll never believe what my little wish unfolded to read this year. This is for shizzle.
Kday made me promise not to write any wish related to adding more children to our family by next Christmas. I think maybe for the first wish ever in my life I might lay off the baby wishing.... maybe. Ha!
