The Unique Holiday Traditions of Janine Ekberg

Holiday TraditionsJanine Ekberg has loved Christmas since she was a child. She and her brothers would go into the woods and chop down a tree. For as long as she can remember, decorating the family tree was her job. After she married her husband, Chuck, her trees had themes — when the children came along, their creations covered the tree. Around 20 years ago, Ekberg began collecting antique and family glass ornaments.

Christmas remains her absolute favorite season; she begins decorating right after Thanksgiving. While it’s sad to take them down, she looks forward to unpacking her treasures the following Christmas.
