Christmas ponderings

Posted by Erik Ks farmer on December 24, 2012 at 06:32:06 from (199.241.240.16):

Sitting here in the kitchen this morning by myself with my mind and go to thinking. My wife is a registered nurse and is off to work this morning. Thankfully, she is able to spend Christmas at home. We will be spending Christmas with her family tomorrow. Today I will spend the day with my parents and siblings and later with my mother's siblings and their kids and grandkids. Anyway I got to thinking of the past and how we try to stick with tradition, I know traditions have been mentioned on this site many times, but bear with me. Mom's family has always gotten together on Christmas Eve, a time honored tradition set by my great grandparents and later grandparents. We always have a spiral cut ham and fry slices with bbq sauce to make ham sandwiches and everyone brings a side dish and we all visit and then the kids open presents. As of late as the family has grown it has been harder to get everyone home for Christmas, and it has been more difficult to avoid the disputes of setting time and even of maintaining the tradition of Christmas Eve. I know that each of feels that something is missing from these traditions, I have even heard mention that some among us feel it is becoming harder to find joy in the Christmas season. Time changes everything, nothing is ever quite how we remembered it or wished it to be. Therefore, the best we can do is to recreate and preserve these traditions as best that we can in order to honor the memories of those we miss and make memories for the children around us. This Christmas, let us find joy in our families, our friends and the One who was, who is and who is to come. Merry Christmas!
