Does anybody have a special name or traditions for that week? My tradition is to usually work most of it. I figure with my own kids grown, I can work and free up time for parents with smaller children to take extra time off to be with them. Children are what makes the Holidays so special.
Our tradition used to be to set the tree up on my daughter's birthday weekend and take it all down on New Year's day. It was always a fun time doing both. Now, I decidedly do not like to decorate because then I have to put it all away again. So this year it was 1 string of lights on the sliding glass door.
Due to custody issues, my daughter and her husband will have the boys this coming Sun so Cameron and I will be going over that afternoon to have our family celebration. It gets so much harder to pick gifts as they get older.
Let us know if your family has any special Holidays traditions and do you need to adjust the day to celebrate due to either custody issues or work issues. Working at a job that is a 24/7 job in the past, I have worked so many Holidays that if became very common to celebrate on different days than the official ones. It can be tough to work with.
Well, here's hoping everyone had a wonderful time and will be careful over the New Year's.
