Merry Christmas, happy new year, yadda yadda. Every year, christmas changes so much in our family. I saw my older sisters go through it, and thought they were crazy. Now I am going through it, and think I am crazy. Its all fun and good when you're a kid, and you look forward to it, and are totally stoked, but when you grow up, it loses its fun.
For instance... Our family has a lot of traditions. We put up these little ceramic houses from mervins, or however you spell that place. A few years ago, it was great fun for the family to arrange them and put up the fake people and little fake snow. This year all the kids were all, "mom, if you want your houses, you put them up yourself. She did. We didn't. Also, same thing with the tree. None of the kids decorated it, actually my dad did.
Then it was horrible when I found out that my sister was "santa", who put all the stuff in our stockings. Need I say more?
So who knows what it will be like next year. It will come, however, for better or for worse.
