Hello DivaBaby! Fam,
Last evening I watched a few TV shows that explored the traditions of Christmas. Christmas is often a time of "perfection" (i. e. going from store to store buying the "perfect" gifts, baking the "perfect "cookies, finding the "perfect" tree/decorating it, mailing the "perfect" holiday greeting cards, rsvping to the the "right" holiday parties, etc. Is it the perfection that we remember or the imperfections?
I can remember a Christmas, when I was a pre-teen and my dad and I watched National Lampoon's Vacation; we must have taken too long cause my mom started crying because we were not participating in her idea of a "perfect" Christmas. My moms actions made that particular Christmas more memorable than any before, thus creating a Christmas tradition that we tease her about to this day. May be we just all need to lighten up a bit around the holidays and focus on enjoy being together and not so much on the idea of having the "perfect" Christmas. Besides, "perfection" becomes mundane, shake up the holidays a bit!!! Just a thought! :-)
Have a safe & Happy holiday season!
