If you&#8217;re going to post a holiday greeting to Facebook (or anywhere on social media), consider using a photo of a personal ornament, decorative item, traditional food you cooked, etc. as the illustration for the post instead of stock images that some of us tire of seeing over and over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I finally took out all my old Christmas ornaments that my mother packed away and put them haphazardly on a card table. The box was falling apart, some ornaments that were highly organic had disintegrated and needed to be tossed. I had not seen them in years because of well&#8230;some of you know how these things go. Got a new box and gently placed them in it. I may take better pictures tomorrow. But I&#8217;m glad I got them out and decided that pictures of them would make for great holiday posts or could be used in other creative ways&#8230;and then I have the pictures. So&#8230;greetings from the little blue boy I made in Sunday School and the Santa who is reaching up for something. But seriously&#8230;consider creating some customized holiday images from your own items. Digital images can be a great way to preserve at least an image of an item&#8230;even if that homemade playdough seal ornament you made in 3rd grade has decided to return to the Earth from which it came &lt;grin&gt;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/genealogytipoftheday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/santa-ornament-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-17411\" srcset=\"https:\/\/genealogytipoftheday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/santa-ornament-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/genealogytipoftheday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/santa-ornament-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/genealogytipoftheday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/santa-ornament.jpg 1500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This tip is from a post I made on our Genealogy Tip of the Day page on Facebook.
