Instructions
  1. Saw a cross section from the bottom of your Christmas tree trunk before putting it into its stand for decorating (a parent's job). Alternately, you can saw a smaller piece from the middle after the holidays are over. This is your pine disk.

  2. Wrap a length of thin wire around the pine disk and twist it into a loop at the top for hanging. Tie on a ribbon, glue on some trim, or add greenery, berries, or other decorations.

  3. Write the year across the front with a marker or craft paint. If the wood surface is too rough, sand it down a bit before writing.

  4. For an extra remembrance, glue on a fun Christmas-morning snapshot before you store the ornaments away for next year.
