Holidays

Let's see holiday's they are so stressful. But no matter what some people get into them really good. They decorate their yards and their houses some even do their cars and trucks.
Well my children have grown up and my grandchildren live in California.
So far away.

So the most I ever get is a phone call from them and a visit once a year. Which is very special believe me. But when they aren't here then these holidays are more or less just another day to work or just hang out with some friends that don't have family.

I am not knocking the holidays by all means. Ones that have families that get together and share the true meaning of that holiday. Well it's great.
It's should be from the heart. Not for what we buy or how we show our yards off to out do the person that lives next door.

The holidays have gotten so commercial that we don't even take that special person shopping for a gift. We just get on the net and order it. There is no personal touch any more.
I miss the old times growing up and sneaking in the back door of my grandparents door just to catch the smell of all the wonderful cooking going on.

Wow those were wonderful times and the bad thing is they will never be seen ever again no matter how hard you try. Because they disappeared. And with our Hi tech world it doesn't really matter.
