Does anyone else have nothing special to do for the holidays? No family?

[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 287467, member: 1514"] I have always tried to make all holidays fairly special because I grew up an only child so I really didnt have much in the way of a large family to gather with. My parents families were all a pretty long ways away from us so we only traveled to see them once a year. Sometimes it was on a holiday. Now saying that I tried to make holidays special...it usually only involved my kids and us, and maybe my mom. Even now I try to get together with the kids for all major holidays...xmas, thanksgiving, easter and the 4th of July. Labor day is the first day of hunting season so the boys usually get with their dad. My kids do at least come by or call for Mothers and Fathers day. So far I am successful at this. Well Hailie wasnt old enough last year for the 4th of July. We didnt go up there last year. We went the right after for her birthday. This year Keyana had to be in a parade on the 4th so Jamie and his family came down to see her in the parade and we did the whole 4th thing down here. It was a blast. The kids actually had a ball watching a concert, dancing together and watching fireworks. When the girls are out together everyone thinks they are sisters because of the blond hair and blue eyes. MWM....3 hours isnt a long drive. We go 5 to 6 hours depending on traffic to Jamies. When travelling with Keyana it takes more like 7 because of potty stops...lol. It is so worth it to go visit for the holidays. Even smaller holidays. [/QUOTE]
