Traditions

Traditions are sometimes the things that make life worth living.
Simple and anual they are things that you look forward to so much.
Traditions take years to develop. In my case, and most others, holidays are times where life is all about traditions because it is a time when families come together and the routine doesn't change much from year to year. Traditions also make you so excited for particular events because there is something special about them. Christmas has a special place and most other peoples because it is synonymous with traditions. Going and getting the christmas tree is always such a great day. In my house, this is of course a big deal. The tree has to be perfect, the exact right height, not too fat, not too uneven, perfect blend of spruce and fir.

Even here in Bangkok, Team Parsons still keeps our traditions going. My parents mailed me an ornament for my little tree I have and a stocking packkkked full of goodies that I am saving for christmas morning!


I also love new traditions too, the ones that are still so fresh that you remember starting them. They are awesome because you can know that in 20 years you will still be doing them same thing. Bri and I have started a few cool traditions recently, one being building a gingerbread house every year around christmas. Well we have done it once, and this year aren't together for christmas, so we'll have to wait until next year to keep this one going. Another thing that is becoming sort of a tradition is going and staying at KOA campsites. They are these really affordable campsites all throughout the country that have great log cabins, campfires and grills to cool food. We have been to one in NC, and plan on going to a new one every year. Wow I love traditions, they give you something to look forward to in life, and without that,who knows?
