A Family Tradition

Every December, my family gathers to make a wishing tree. We use real branches from our garden and decorate them with

homemade ornaments. Each person writes a wish on a small card, like “To travel to Japan” or “To spend more time together.” Last

year, my little sister wished for a puppy, and six months later, we adopted one! The tree sits on our dining table during the holidays,

symbolizing hope and unity. It’s a simple activity, but it teaches us that sharing wishes strengthens bonds.
