A Christmas Keepsake
Like any holiday card a parent receives from a child, many of them go into keepsake and scrapbook albums to remind us of our children once they have left the nest. If we’ve lost a loved one, they are valuable reminders of the good times in the past and the connections we cherish.

It Is More Personal
