Christmas Eve 2019
It's A Wrap
Christmas Eve 2019 - It's A Wrap Last night was Christmas Eve, 2019. And another year has passed. Many moments of 2019 have become memories.
During our traditional family meal of pizza(just one piece....really)followed by an evening of far too many desserts(willpower...willpower...oh, damn), a gift exchange and assorted "events" including the appearance of multiple white elephants(not a herd but a circus of sorts)...I was thinking.
I was thinking of the things that have become memories and traditions. Some histories are crystal clear and some are a bit hazy. Even when discussed out loud --- we each remember events and occurrences in different ways. That's the thing about memories -- while some are obviously shared and fondly remembered. Many are uniquely ours. New experiences, circumstances and many other factors influence our behavior and thoughts. Some things are not discussed. That's just the way it is. Many things become new memories.
Today, brings another day. Many new moments. Actually it's a combination of memories of the past as well as memories-in-the-making. Happening today and each day. All in the moment.
Merry Christmas if you celebrate and Happy Wednesday to you all.
It's true,
Christmas can feel like a lot of work,
particularly for mothers.
But when you look back on all the Christmases in your life,
you'll find you've created family traditions and lasting memories.
Those memories, good and bad,
are really what help to keep a family together over the long haul.
