Christmas Helpers to The Rescue! + HSBI Initiative

(Edited)

We started a family tradition of putting the Christmas tree up after Thanksgiving. It always seems to work best since my wife and I have the day off, and the kids don't have school. This year, the kids were super excited to help!

It was a nice change since last year our youngest was too small to help but kept getting in the way while attempting to help. This year, he was able to follow instructions, so things went fairly quickly.

Naturally, everyone was listening to Christmas music the whole time. I made a glass of egg nog to enjoy as well.

Once everything was done with the tree, it was time to hang up the stockings!

It took a little bit to convince them to give up the stockings, but we finally got them up.

It's hard to believe Christmas is only 3 weeks away, but these days, time seems to go by faster than in previous years. It's my favorite time of year, so I wish it had lasted longer. Oh well, it'll come around again next year once this Christmas is over. We'll enjoy the time we have while it's here.

Do you have any Christmas traditions you look forward to every year?

My family has had many Christmases full of traditions. The most fun to me has normally been meeting at Mom's for "breakfast at lunchtime" on Christmas day. So much excitement! It has been a lot of years of fun as our family has grown and grown. We'd all get there and add whatever our part was of food and homemade treats and enjoy our Christmas Day Feast. Afterwards we'd all go down into the large den, with the fireplace and Christmas tree surrounded by a pile of gifts. Each family would then take turns handing out the gifts and watching the kids play, enjoying their new surprises.

Now Mom and we siblings are older and things have changed. Everything seems to have slowed down. Covid exaggerated some of that, but now, it is too much for Mom to have everyone in. At 90, she is doing well for her age, but she is no longer up to having the house full of people in the numbers our family has now grown too, with grown grandchildren married and with young family's of their own. We sure did make it last while we could though and I am thankful for the many years we were able to enjoy that, but now.... it is gone.

I know the answer is to make new traditions and that may happen I suppose, but at least for now, it is not the same.

That sounds like a lot of fun and some great memories!

Yeah, it's sad when things change. I remember large gatherings at my grandparents' house for Thanksgiving, but now all of the cousins are spread out across the country.

As you said, it just means we need to make our own traditions and memories for our kids.
