How do you feel about Christmas Traditions?🎄

I gave up on cards. I used to love sending them and I would tape the ones I got around the door frame and stop to look again and again, but geez it’s been almost a decade now that it seemed folks lost interest in sending them. For a time I held on, but when it became obvious I was only getting one from someone after they got mine and felt obligated I just let it go. I was down to one card exchange with Aunt Betty who always wrote a letter, but she passed away this spring so the last is gone now. This year I found gift buying a little different as well. Both the chicks are out of the nest and with limited space, so I focused on useful items and fewer things overall. There are no little children in our family anymore, no traveling this year since mom died at the end of summer so dad will be coming to stay here for days. I’m finding it feels like a quieter holiday than it once was, and my spirit with it, but I will always have my tree and lights and Christmas movies. ☺
