Does anyone include their unborn kids in holiday rituals?

1 Answer

Answer :

answer:I can’t remember if we did or not? We would certainly have bought some presents for our baby on the way. I think I would have put and ‘bean’ or whatever on the ********* cards too. I think the idea of a ********* tree ornament is lovely. Everyone in my immediate family has a ********* tree ornament with their name on it. Even our pets. And each year we hang them. It’s a nice reminder of the pets we’ve loved who aren’t with us now. I think I’d be reluctant to do too much because it would feel a little like tempting fate. Which is sort of silly, but there would be a part of me that would be concerned about that.
