In our reading we talked about traditions. The main point that was brought up was Holiday Traditions. I agree that Holiday traditions are not as fun as they used to be. As a kid Christmas was a fun holiday of just getting presents. I remember getting presents from my grandpa or grandma and being so happy and play with those toys, these toys distracted me from the family issues.
Sadly as I got older Christmas became more as a chore. Its pretty much me showing up to get money from my grandparents and eat food. Now I don't mind a good meal, but its the conversation we would have. My family is very christian oriented. Half our discussions have to deal with religion. I'm not very active in my religion any more so this has always been a stressful thing for me and I'm usually feeling left out.
Traditions suck when your're not active in them, and for me Christmas with my grandparents really sucks.
