"Normally,"
Although not in recent years,
My family has gathered for 7 Fishes
After a day of cleaning and cooking.
This year, might have been one of those years
Filled with cooking, cleaning and excitement.
However, thanks to Covid, once again,
I am home with no plans to entertain.
Yet, like every year, I find myself
Cleaning the house from stem to stern
Like my Mother did every Christmas Eve,
"In preparation for the Baby Jesus"
She would claim
While I suspect she just wanted to
Keep anxious young ones busy.
"Traditions matter," I smiled as
I cleaned under the stove just now.
I wish the 10s of people who still read my blog
A Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, and
Traditions that don't require a vacuum.

Traditions do matter and so do you. Sometimes we have to hold those traditions in our memory and close to our heart. Merry Christmas, Anita
Anita, it’s the traditions that make us smile during the holidays. Wishing you and your family a very Merry Christmas 🎄 Deb Scofield
