Challenge: Close Up Traditions



For this challenge I couldn't decide between two things.  So what I did is combined the two ideas I had.  Traditions and Close ups.  So tell us about your traditions from this time of year with your best close ups.  

My traditions are decorating.  Or the tradtional holiday baking. Which I only bake one time a  year.  Another tradition I have is at work. We make a lot of arrangements and wreaths to help others out with thierholiday traditions.  Maybe you have a certain way you wrap a  gift or a certain thing you put in stockings every year.  I think you get the idea.

But I do ask that you try to use only new shots.  

Also I still have not picked someone for the next challenge if you are interested pm me.
