Holidays

I need to apologize for not writing sooner, but it's been a busy few months.  Now that things have settled a little, I thought I would add my two cents about holidays.

Have I mentioned I'm not a holiday person?  Sometimes I feel like I'm the only person who recognizes that not all people celebrate the same holidays.  Easter really reminded me of this.  At least Christmas is near other religions holidays.  Easter isn't so much.  Work gives us a holiday on Easter, which is great (when isn't a day off great?), but I can't help that I feel a little miffed that they don't recognize other religious holy days? 

Holidays also remind me that I don't get to spend time with my family on the holidays.  Every member of my family is at least 1 state away.  Sad, but true.  I handle this fine most times, but it gets to be a little much around the holidays.  Of course, I also appreciate every moment I spend with them a little more than most people.  I recognize that I never know when I'm going to see them again and anything can happen.

What about hubby's family?  Yes, I do spend time with them, but it's not the same.  They are wonderful people and make me feel very welcomed.  It's just not the same.  I know I already said it once.

Well, that's my little rant about holidays.  Always remember that just because you celebrate a holiday, it doesn't mean everyone else does.  Walking around wishing people a happy holiday doesn't make some people happy; it actually upsets some people.
