Sometimes it would snow, and if we were lucky, there would be no school. When it was time to decorate the house, my brothers and I would set up the ladder and climb into the attic where we brought down our \u2018box-of-Christmas-decorations.\u2019 One of us would slowly remove the treasures that had so carefully been stowed the year before. And whether it was the macaroni ornament made in 2<sup>nd<\/sup> grade or the glass teapot given as a gift, we would be excited to proudly place them onto the tree.<\/p>\n<p>As a kid, Christmas meant many things \u2013 snow, presents, xmas trees, lights, no school, hot tea, cider\u2026but it also meant <em>family. <\/em>No matter what we did in December, we did it with family, and I think that\u2019s what made every tradition so memorable and <em>special.<\/em> Now we\u2019re older, and surely busy with our lives, but every December, we always come together as a family and we celebrate. I\u2019m so thankful for my parents, brothers, cousins, aunts, and uncles because its each of them who made Christmas special.<\/p>\n<p>I was honored to take festive Christmas photos of the Doria family during the Holidays. I hope that one day, their two boys who are full of so much wonder and joy, take a look at these photos and remember December\u2026remember <em>family. <\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a
