This Thursday marks the beginning of my favorite time of year. I know, I know...with all the hype I put around by birthday, you would think October is my favorite time of year. Well, October comes in second.
But beginning Thursday, it's as though the entire world celebrates from Thanksgiving until New Year's. Cheers to a world party.
Couples (especially married ones but for the purposes of my audience, we'll just say couples) face the inevitable question of whose house are we going to this year?
My oldest sister, who has children and a boyfriend aka a real little family of her own, had to deal with this last year. It was my niece's first Christmas and we wanted to hang out with the little munchkin just as much as her daddy's side of the family. Her solution? Christmas eve and morning with us, drive to New York Christmas Day and spend Christmas evening with the dad's half. Everyone wins.
While most people associate the holidays with family (which are, indeed, a huge part of the holidays), in the grand scheme of things, the holidays are also just about love. I don't see anything wrong with spending a holiday or two with the one you love and maybe their insane, we-hold-these-crazy-traditions-every-year family. If that's the case, make sure you call up your fam and let them know you love them just the same.
Here's to kicking off the time of year marked with crazy shoppers, scrumptious meals, family, and love.
Love freely,
tY
