Unnecessary Necessities

Last Thanksgiving my sister in laws and I made these Christmas cans to begin a new family tradition. We put pajamas in the cans each year and open them on Christmas Eve. Each can has a place for messages and their very own key for opening. You can get cans at just about any hardware store and modge podge scrap booking paper onto them. I love traditions! Plus if you keep the messages over the years with the cans it is kind of fun to read them each year. I am going to keep a picture of the kids in their p.j.'s in the can as well so we can see how much they change over the years.
