Every holiday since I found sanity and serenity in al-anon I have my own tradition. No booze, no crazy family, just me and my HP. I make a little butterfly, or sometimes buy one if I find one I like, and hang it on my tree as an ornament. The butterfly is the symbol of al-anon, it reminds me of how my world ended when my marriage of 20 years vanished into addiction.
Now I have a completely different life that I never imagined could even exist.
So here's my tree ( on the right ), with this year's butterfly on the upper right.

p.s. I know, there should be more butterflies, but I keep inviting newbies over, and they love my butterflies, so I end up giving the away
