With the advent of the holiday season upon us I thought I would ask what is your favorite holiday tradition? I love picking out our tree and putting it up with all the trimmings.
I feel exactly the same way. There is so much time spent with family and friends, giving presents, decorating the house, cooking, and seeing heart warming moments on television and in movies that when it all stops life can be dreary. Of course that doesn't mean I don't celebrate, but I also try to remember that I'm going to have to come back to reality.Without meaning to rain on the parade, I think that making too big a deal out of holidays can result in a very unpleasant dreary feeling after the celebration is over, somewhat akin to dreading to go back to the daily grind after a vacation. Neither holidays nor vacations are without their negative consequences.
The outdoor decorations are fun to see, but they tend to remind me of Snoopy's doghouse in A Charlie Brown Christmas and the Griswold's house in Christmas Vacation. Also, it makes the power company happy.My favorite part, of the holiday season, are all the lights. It is nice, to see all the yard decorations, lighting the night time drives.
I guess it's a good thing I'm not too close to the one side of my family, then. I always tend to look forward to holidays before hand, but once they start, I start to look forward to them ending again. I know, I'm weird.Without meaning to rain on the parade, I think that making too big a deal out of holidays can result in a very unpleasant dreary feeling after the celebration is over, somewhat akin to dreading to go back to the daily grind after a vacation.
