-when it comes to holidays I've always been a bit of a
Growing up holidays always seemed like more stress than they were worth. Somewhere between tournaments, traveling and rushing around to see family, I lost all interest in "holidays". I have always, always said, if you want to spend time with someone DO IT, if you want to buy someone something DO IT! No ones needs a certain day or reason to show someone how much they love them, or at least we shouldn't! I never stopped and wondered if the reason I didn't think there needed to be a reason was because I had always had those wonderful family holidays.
I would like no less than to snuggle up in bed with my boys and do nothing on these paid days off! My fiance' on the other hand has informed me he wants to celebrate holidays in more traditional ways! Ugh, that word!
That seemed like a burden, at first! Then I stopped and started to evaluate why he or someone else may value the holidays. I never realized that for most people the holidays are the only time they have time to see there family. Although this is sad, it is also true. So once again this year, I threw out an idea I had once had for a new one. One that will involve my (little) family and my traditions. I dressed my family in matching clothes and took a family picture, I baked delicious gluten free brownie bars and I celebrated being able to have all these freedoms!
I hope everyone had a wonderful day, was able to appreciate their friends and family, and maybe (just once) wished they were at home alone ;)
