It's quiet here. My roomie & I do very subdued holidays. For people from our kind of backgrounds, the holidays are a not so nice mix of holiday cheer, nostalgia & anxiety. These were a time of nerves for me as a kid.
We refuse not to acknowledge them. But, we also know that for us, they'll never be a greatly joyous event free of unwanted memories & stress. So, we choose to celebrate them in our own way. We watch holiday specials & sing along with them. We make our version of a holiday dinner. We make it as simple as possible, so we don't feel the nervousness of holidays past. We also don't have to deal with that anti-climatic feeling that often comes with Christmas.
Wherever you are today, I hope your day is going well. I wish for the best this holiday season & the up coming year. Take care & be kind to yourself.
Cya...
