This is going to be a year of perhaps having traditions on hold. Misha will be the only one home for Thanksgiving, Kristen will be in Australia, all of my Christmas decorations are in storage, and we are going to Florida for Christmas.
The constant in our traditions or "lack of" traditions this year is family. I am grateful that we love to be together; miles may separate us and circumstances may keep us from celebrating as we usually do, but family is the constant. With that, we can celebrate the beauty and blessing of family regardless of the decorative napkins on the Thanksgiving table or the Christmas lights.
