Family Traditions: Taco Tuesday
Family Traditions
Is Taco Tuesday a family tradition in your home? I think it’s a great family tradition especially if you have children or grandchildren. It’s not a tradition that we have, but I still think it’s great!
You may be wondering why I’m writing about it if it’s not one of our traditions! Well, I was searching for something on Trendy Tree and ran across the taco Christmas ornaments. They have two styles, one is from RAZ and the other is Old World Christmas. The RAZ one is on sale by the way.
Gifting Ornaments
I thought the taco ornaments would be such a cute gift for anyone who has Taco Tuesday as a family tradition. Gifting ornaments is something that you should reserve just for the holidays. The figural ornaments are perfect for gifting all year long. All you need is a reason, special occasion, funny experience, vacation, favorite food…..and the list goes on and on.
A taco Christmas ornament hanging on a tree years from now will bring back those memories of the fun times you experienced on Taco Tuesday)))
The Old World Christmas taco Christmas ornament comes with a little hang tag that reads: The Taco is a traditional food in Mexico and is very popular here in the United States too. Consisting of a folded corn tortilla filled with any variety of meat, cheese, beans and vegetables, it is then doused with a spicy sauce. Tacos make a delicious meal or snack.
Storing Christmas Ornaments
You might be wondering about how to keep up with Christmas ornaments that are given or received during the year. All the Christmas decorations are put away and if you are like me, you’re not going to drag them out just to put away a small ornament. Thus, a small ornament can get lost or forgotten about before the next holiday.
Do you ever buy things for future use and forget about them, or can’t find them when you do remember? Me too! It brings to mind when Carrie was expecting her first baby, our grandson A.J. I found the cutest little books that were titled “What is a Mom” and “What is a Dad.” I planned to give Carrie hers on her first Mother’s Day and to David on Father’s Day. Well….that never happened. I forgot about them and ran across them neatly tucked away some time (years) later. AJ will be 23 on his birthday…..see what I mean!
Here are some ways to keep up with them!
Old World Christmas
The Old World Christmas collection at Trendy Tree is extensive. When we first went into business as Trendy Tree I had always thought of Christmas ornaments as pretty balls and finials. I had no experience with figural ornaments. Radko I knew about, but they were way too expensive for my budget.
Figural Christmas ornaments are made in the shapes of objects, characters, animals, birds….most anything you can think of! There are ornaments for foodies like the taco ornament for Taco Tuesday. Ornaments represent everyday, common things like tools, appliances, toys, sports, travel, and cosmetics just to name a few!
Most collectible Christmas ornaments are made of mouth-blown glass and hand-painted. They can range in price from $9.99 to $99.99 or more. The Old World Christmas ornaments are affordable with most prices around $10 to $30.
Gifting Ornaments
Christmas ornaments are more than just pretty decorations; they represent cherished memories, milestones, and family traditions like Taco Tuesday)). It doesn’t necessarily have to be a memorable occasion to gift a special ornament. You might find an ornament that makes you smile and think of someone you love.
An example that comes to my mind is the Rubber Chicken ornament that made me think of one of my grandsons the moment I saw it…..perfect for him then, he was such a goofball! Years ago we started gifting the grandchildren ornaments by choosing an ornament that reflected special memories. They have quite a collection now and even though they are all grown up, they still will admire the ornament tree and say things like “That’s my cheeseburger” or “Awwww there’s my wagon.”
Occasions and Events
Numerous occasions and events present ideal opportunities for giving ornaments as gifts. Just like Taco Tuesday))) Here are more suggestions.
Wrapping it Up
So…this was the reason for the Taco Tuesday post))) Just a thought so that you would keep in mind that gifting collectible Christmas ornament is something you can do all year long.
If you get them for your kids or grandchildren, just remember where you put them! Ornaments that lend themselves to adding a date or name with. a permanent marker is a great idea too.
You could put a name and date on the back of the Taco Tuesday ornament for instance)) The RAZ taco ornament has a smoother surface than the Old World Christmas taco and remember, it’s on sale)))
