It is hard to maintain
Holiday traditions.
As we grow older and
People start to live
Their own lives.
Somehow we still maintain
Those traditions.
We gather at one persons
House.
It has been my aunts house
Since my mom died.
We used to do breakfast
And lunch/ dinner.
Now we just do the main meal.
We give out presents.
Usually two people hand
Out the presents.
And we open them one
Person at a time.
Then we clean up
And eat.
Then we help clean up
From the meal.
We say our goodbyes
And go back to our lives
Until the next holiday.

Standing While Falling
Quotation from Friedrich Nietzsche "He who wrestles long with monsters should beware lest he himself become a monster. And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you. Man is not destroyed by suffering, but by the meaning he makes of it."

The loss of a loved one or the passing of time can definitely shift those traditions, powerful poem...
