Afew days ago, I asked folks to tell me what kind of Christmas dinner traditions they had. I wanted to learn what other people did before making a decision about what sort of tradition I might be able to do as a single mom struggling with chronic disease and an especially disappointing lack of energy this year.
A couple of people were genuinely confused and didn’t understand why I didn’t just do what we have done in the past, but that’s part of the problem. We didn’t have a consistent tradition, and my daughter desperately wants to begin one this year. Plus, we’ve had some restaurant orders (Taziki’s) in the past that we don’t have this year.
