Holiday Traditions
With the upcoming holidays many of us in the profession will be away from our families. While tough for our loved ones, I've always thought it's harder for us since they are at least around other family or friends.
So! I'd like to hear about what you and your family do for traditions when you can't be home for the holidays. Maybe just to give those new to the industry ideas of ways they can still celebrate and have a fulfilling holiday season even though they might not be home for the actual day(s)
One thing we have began doing is to go as a family to a food shelter or soup style kitchen and volunteer some of our time. We then have a dinner planned that night for friends or family who can make it. Helps to remind us that while getting together and having food, drink, and memories are a big part of the season that there are still those out there that have no one or anything to celebrate. Makes missing the actual holiday seem very trivial and instills a gratitude for what we do have.
Happy Holidays everyone!
