I miss the traditional holiday parties when you'd dress up!, waking up at 10 to help cook, staying up 'till 2 am just because we all wanted to and no one wanted the nights to end. I miss how CLOSE we all once were and how much we needed each other for support, for guidance.
What happened?
That's the only question I want answered. Maybe it all seemed better when we were younger.. but as look as the younger generation of kids in my family, I feel sorry for them. They're not going to have traditions to do, memories/places to reminisce on, silly games of imagination. Now a day all the kids are consumed in all the high-tech things and getting all the best of the best, which they get because of their parents spoiling them. Yes, I said it. When I was 7 I felt lucky to get 1 barbie doll. And that's all I ever wanted too.
And as I'm turning back the time, I remember Christmas's started to change once my Grandpa passed away. He was always the one that picked out the biig tree (with the input of the his grandchildren but we'd always pick the goofy looking one's). Christmas's were held at his house and we'd do those Santa cards, bake cookies and hope we get all we wished for. When I come to think of it, I've stopped decorating trees after he past. I remember the mis-matched lights in which most lights didn't work. The random ornaments and the many candy cane's we'd put on the tree but would slowly disappear when Christmas day started to arrive.
I miss my Grandpa the most at Christmas time.
Well now it seems it's time for New Years.. time to re-evaluate goals and try to better one's self..
