christmas seems to get further and further away from the christmas i remembered from my childhood every year. it's so strange how the adults worked so hard every year to develop and foster traditions, make sure everyone looked perfectly for the part, and pretended, just for the day, that nothing was wrong. now, it's totally different. we all arrived at different times, we sat in 4 different rooms for dinner, we wore whatever the hell we wanted, we talked about all the issues engulfing our family (instead of ignoring their presence or focusing on spending time with eachother), and for the first year ever, we didn't have santa come.
everything is changing- again.
