It’s the first week of Advent! And as many moms, I’m a mix of overwhelmed and overjoyed at the impending Christmas season. My “to-do” list is lengthy, between work, getting grades in, grad-school papers, projects, exams, purchasing presents, wrapping, decorating, getting Christmas clothes, etc. And yet, what’s my most significant struggle? Not allowing the pressure of “bringing the joy” of the Christmas season to my children, family, and loved ones to rob me of one of my most significant gifts, being present! Here’s a great example, (this is from last year’s St Nicholas Day) it dawned on me that today is St. Nicholas’ day while seated on the couch at 10 pm having a rare bonding moment with my 16-year-old son (sons just don’t come up to you and spill all the tea on their lives on the daily, so this was a big deal) I could have rushed off to the store to get everything I needed to make the morning a great surprise but then I would have missed out on one of the greatest gifts, the vulnerability and pure bonding moment. I chose wisely and I officially moved our St. Nicholas “morning” to tomorrow. Moms don’t miss out on the pure genuine beauty of this season because your mind was distracted by the “to-do list”. And while traditions are magnificent don’t be afraid to alter or adjust them as your family grows, matures, and changes. Still working on your family traditions?
