My decisions were made and I was beginning to put a plan in place that plan would involve me getting things in order. I began to see myself differently a little more grown and a little more wiser. Now the holidays were coming and that was going to be difficult but I promised myself to keep it as normal as possible. I participated in the usual traditions, holiday nights at Greenfield Village, sing a long with a hay ride with friends, Christmas caroling with my friends, baking cookies all the things that are special about the holidays. It was fun and I felt like my mom was there with us.
The holidays were upon us and we really were at a loss of weather to decorate the house or not. We decorated because my mother would had wanted it that way. I did the tree which was a surprise to me because it was the very first time I did it by myself it was a fun project and one I know I will enjoy for years to come. I also enjoyed decorating the house with the holly and the little figures placed around the family gathering space the kitchen was decorated too. I choose Christmas Eve to set up the village something she loved to do and I set aside that night to make it special. I loved doing this by myself it gave me so much pleasure. Now I had already wrapped all the gifts and done my part for dinner so I put on my new pajamas my mom always got me a new pair every year and I stayed with the tradition with my sisters to get theirs with the gift cards that she did not use they came in handy when I needed to get them theirs it felt as if she bought them and they were from her. Christmas day was finally here and we were in a festive mood, my dad was feeling down but it was the first holiday without her then we got a call during dinner my dear Aunt whom my dad loved dearly had passed away on Christmas day it was now a sad time again and we were not in the mood for the holiday.
