christmas traditions.

it may not be the longest set of traditions, but whatever.

i always spend christmas eve night on the couch at my aunt and uncle's.

i always get woken up between six and seven to watch the opening of the presents.

i always go back to sleep after the commotion.

i always see a movie. and sit in the front row because we arrived late.

i always fill up on the most wonderful meal made by my uncle.

and i'm always grateful to be with my family.

my twentysixth christmas warmed my heart and fostered an even bigger sense of gratitude. making space for advent this season created a bigger purpose and more meaningful christmas, too.
