[QUOTE="SuZir, post: 674866, member: 14557"] only thing is: That would be three big bags of candles. There simply are many stones. Practically goes above my feelings, I guess. However, I'm sure, or at least I think, that when boys will have their own families and not come to cemetery with me and hubby but on their own timetable, they will visit and light candles also to my side of the family. This is tough one. I do agree. And I have tried and to some things I have been able to sneak some of my family's traditions. But the big days like Christmas: There is just so many of hubby's family and they are so big and loud... Hubby's siblings divide big holidays between us, spouses' extended families and their nuclear family traditions. We live at the old family home, so our house is the one where we always gather. They all still, in some level, consider this as their home too. Where they all are always welcome during the holidays (and I do not actually want to change it, I chose this.) While I have inherited properties from my family, those are not our homes, but just places (that I mostly rent out) aside of one summer place we use a bit every summer. The time there is most likely the closest we come to observing my family traditions. But time is limited and in some ways spending time with hubby's family is so much more fun. And I too enjoy it. And I love that my kids have big and close extended family they are really connected with. But, but... They really are big and loud and overbearing. [/QUOTE]
