In a way, it's going to set the path for how our extended family will relate in the future.Lisa Dunickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08530026652363687161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1658392846922406557.post-71132766946086115082007-08-24T14:40:00.000-07:002007-08-24T14:40:00.000-07:00I know what you mean.

As far as I am concerned the Christmas festivities have less to do with me and more to do with my children. I know that I want them to have the same kinds of memories that we had growing up, but we must make our own treditions, or at least our own version of our families traditions that have been static and unchanged for many years. Do I want to change? Of coarse not. Do I want "D" to be there? Without Question. Without him underwear as a gift wont be nearly as special. However, we must bring the joy and frustration, the excitment and anticipation, the sensation of the holidays of our youth to the expiriences of our children. Christmas won't be the same any more, but that doesn't mean that we can't make it great.The Yellow Darthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10817416930588569339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1658392846922406557.post-83785836156475855772007-08-24T13:42:00.000-07:002007-08-24T13:42:00.000-07:00What a lovely post.
