This year, I struggled to get into the holiday spirit. There wasn't one big reason, just a lot of little nagging ones. I could blame it on the fact that my Dad passed away ten years ago during December, or that it is just a stressful time of the year, my Mom's dementia, the fact that we just buried my Aunt after a hard fought battle with pancreatic cancer.
The truth is that I am just tired of all the commercialization, entitlement and wanting more of everything. I long for the days when the holidays were simple. There were presents under the tree, but most importantly there were loved ones around the tree, in the floor, in the kitchen and laughter filled the air.
I miss those days...
