Gratitude For Past Holidays: Joy In Shaping What Will Be

  • Summary

  • For years, I spent Christmas mourning the holidays of my childhood. Grammy and Grandpop's Christmas Day feast was a warm, loving tradition I could rely on—until it ended, as all things inevitably do. Clinging to those memories, I sabotaged my own holidays, drinking mimosas in the morning and boxed wine all day.

    Sobriety taught me that while I can cherish the beautiful memories of my past, I have an even greater opportunity to create new ones. Today, I focus on building traditions with my kids, knowing that one day these moments will become their cherished memories. When that time comes, I’ll have the chance to reinvent the holidays again—perhaps for my grandchildren.

    Christmas is no longer mourning what’s gone; instead I have gratitude for what was and joy in shaping what will be.
