[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 461903, member: 1514"] My experiences are a little different. Cory had been on and off with holidays during his teen years because he was in placements but they normally tried to have him at home for the big ones...Xmas and Thanksgiving. Now he may not have been home for the others like Halloween, Easter...etc. I would always take treats up to wherever he was though. Now when Jamie left home it was hard. The first holidays were hard. He was my big Easter freak. Up to the year he left he always wanted to hunt eggs. Even at 17. LOL. (He left at 18 just before Easter) He was in Boot Camp for Easter and even though I was only supposed to send them cough drops, I broke the rules and sent lollipops shaped like eggs. Jamie had to do extra pushups for that one...lol...but they still got the lollipops! The whole time he was in the Marines, I dont think he actually got to come home for many holidays on the exact day. Sometimes we went up and stayed there and then brought him home. One Easter I went up and took him Easter eggs and we hid them all over the gates he was working for the guys he worked with...lol. It was a blast. [/QUOTE]
