Hello @phderoes. Wow, 23 cousins! That's a lot of play time and getting to know each one. And I thought I had a large family. What you describes is so lovely to decorate the tree each year. Our family finally purchased an aluminum one so that we wouldn't have to worry about finding the appropriate place to discard them once Christmas is over.
Thanks for sharing your favorite tradition. Good luck in the contest. Take care.
To you beautiful, if we are a large number of cousins, my grandmother had 7 children and of those 7 each one enlarged the family, from my mother we are 3.
