[QUOTE="hearts and roses, post: 323000, member: 2211"] [SIZE=4][COLOR=teal]Well, here is another vote for making your own traditions and memories for your family unit. [/COLOR][/SIZE] [SIZE=4][COLOR=teal]It's not about someone going into the service, it's not about forgiving and forgetting, it's not about appeasing anyone and everyone else by compromising or not compromising your own wishes for a home grown family Christmas. [/COLOR][/SIZE] [SIZE=4][COLOR=teal]It's about your vision of how you would like to spend your holiday - whether you ignore it altogether or if you want to stay at home and share that special happy day with just your family.
