Holidays and Special Occasions are great, and even better if you have many family members to celebrate with. Or your the one that does all the work for a dinner, then maybe your like me and just want to have a close family gathering. Getting out and seeing family for the holidays are great, as we don’t see each other often.
When I was little, and I would go home to family for the holidays. It was great, I went and visited each household. I spent some time with everyone, all my aunties and uncles and cousins. Sometimes I would make it just in time to help with making cookies. Other times I would be there in time to go skating on the outdoor ice rink. That is a great memory I have from my childhood. All the other cousins and friends you would see there also. Stayed so long till our toes froze and fingers could no longer move. Then we knew we had to go home. And you know what, we would go do it again the next day.
As I grew up and have my own family- I make the dinner and everyone comes over. I have a small family and it is easy to clean up afterwards. Love when we are all together and talking and remembering other Christmas’s together. Or even our snow day memories.
Holiday Shopping
I used to be one of those people who would go shopping in a Big Mall.
Now if you are looking for something that has to do with these special occasions. Browse thru what we have and see if there is something of interest. I know I may take a bit to get these together, but it will happen.
Father’s Day We all love to celebrate the dad’s in our lives with our kids. Or even your own dad and have a special dinner with him.
Mother’s Day I love Mother’s Day, as my kids make me a special dinner for this day. I loved when my babies were little, all the cute gifts I received. I get to relax on this day, no household anything I do on this day. Mom’s deserve to rest on this day, for all they do for the family.
Birthday Gifts
Wine Tasting and Pairings
Virtual Wine Party
Valentine’s Day
I love the holidays but I do also love to stay home. Have family come to me and spend time with me. As I used to be the one that would always travel to family members house for celebrations. Now I have my own in my house. Which is great, but i am not a fan of the big mess after everyone leaves.
Stress when We all Get Together
Sometimes we never think about all the things that need to be done when we get together. I know I am just so happy to have everyone come over. I will delegate the cleaning to others in my household, so I do not do it all myself. As I have been cooking or cleaning my house most of the day. Or even before, so I need the time to enjoy and have fun also. Sometimes we need some reminders to take care of ourselves and also to ask for help when needed. Even though we think we don’t need help, but for our own health we need this.
