New Christmas Traditions

Christmas is steep in tradition, and when our tradition gets messed with a internal pity party begins.    It doesn’t matter if it is divorce, marriage, or new relationship, when it comes to big holidays things change.. As humans we are creatures of habit.   My test today was finding our new family tradition.  The girls are off to Hawaii on Thursday for Christmas and New Years without me (don’t feel sorry for me I am leaving town too) So in the spirit of the season we celebrated today what Christmas is all about to our little family.  Last week,  we sent Santa a letter requesting an early drop off and he happily obliged.  He understands the modern family.   Grandma arrived with treats, our stockings were opened and our gifts were exchange.  The girls surprised me with tickets to “The Wizard of Oz”.   It was the most thoughtful gift they could have given me.  Family time is rare, but when I get to wear my own Dorothy ruby red stiletto's,  it sends it to epic.    Thank you girls for reminding me that Christmas is about family, love and a touch of silly.  It’s not just a day.. It was our Christmas day.     Here is the Christmas photo.   Now that is priceless!
