Holidays always seem to make me think about my life in a different perspective. It makes me think of family, friendships, people.
Mostly it makes me think of the traditions I've learned in my lifetime and how my traditions will mold how my children define holidays, or remember them.
I've always been fond of Holidays and the traditions that come with it. They've always left lasting impressions on my mind growing up, and have always been something I can look back fondly on and say "Yes, we had a family tradition and it was the stuff of legends." Well maybe not legends, but it always did make me smile.
And as I grow older, and my family life changes, and grows and expands, my traditions integrate with the people whose lives integrate with my own.
We make and start our own traditions for our own family, and sometimes we integrate traditions together and make them our own.
I can't wait to see what memories we make. This family of mine.
And someday, maybe two beautiful little boys won't be kept so far away from me.
Someday.
