And then it is that way
For 3 or 4 years now the holidays havent felt like the holidays. I decided to have a bat mitzvah and we stopped "celebrating" christmas. At first i was happy, but now i actually miss it. I miss coming home to that pine smell, decorated house, and counting down till the 25th on our advent calendar things.. I miss waking up to the smell of turkey bacon every sunday and the sound of frank sinatras christmas albums. I miss going to haileys house every christmas morning after we opened our gifts. I love hanukah, but christmas seemed to make everyone so happy, it's just a different feeling that i get from christmas than hanukah. It's hard getting used to change, but i'm just now realizing what a huge difference christmas made in my familys' holiday spirit and how big of a part it played in this season, and i took that away from all of us. Nothing lasts forever.
I've decided that everyone should have a boyfriend or a girlfriend from november 25th till january 1st. I've also decided or realized that that's definitely not happening for me. Hmm maybe next year.
Happy Holidays everyone,
Ali <3
