That was our normal. Still is, and before anyone thinks 'aww, poor you,' we're OKAY with it! I would way rather gather the family at a non-holiday time where 100% of our focus is on our time together. It's how we've always rolled.
That being said, for as long as I can remember December would arrive and mom would put together holiday 'care packages' for the kids and family that lived elsewhere.
This is my new normal, and today I'm putting parcels in Canada Post for our western kids. I'm not sure what their holiday plans are as yet, but I do know they'll have a little of home as they open their presents on Christmas morning.
I'm not that sentimental of a gal and quite frankly I'm a bit claustrophobic of 'traditions,' but I do love gathering little gifts, writing silly messages on them, packing them up, and putting them in the post.
Happy travels little boxes!
Feeling grateful,
Louise

Hopefully this adventurous dude comes in from the mountains long enough to pick up box # 2
