Christmas is a time of joy, peace and inner peace, during which we pay attention to what really matters in life. During this time, many people feel a greater need to share with others, and even the smallest gesture counts twice. And although the mood and the atmosphere itself are important, it is not created by a clean apartment or a good meal, but by the presence of your closest people. As it turns out, not everyone wants to spend Christmas with their family and instead of enjoying time together, they choose romantic trips for two to places that are rarely visited during the holidays. This is confirmed by the story of our reader, who does not plan to spend this year’s holidays with her parents.
“I have the impression that my parents killed the true Christmas spirit in our house”
When I think about Christmas, I’m not very happy. All because I only remember them from my teenage years through the prism of cleaning and cooking. When we sat down at the Christmas table, everyone was so tired of the preparations that they immediately went to sleep. I don’t remember it well because I have the impression that my parents killed the true spirit of Christmas in our house. I don’t want to complain too much, because I had a nice childhood, but holidays are something I simply don’t like. I always imagined that when I started my own family, I would act contrary to my parents. I want to experience Christmas Eve not as a daughter of my parents, but as a wife.
“I treat going on holidays as a rest and an opportunity to get to know the world, not as a departure from tradition”
It so happened that I got married this year and for the first time I decided not to spend Christmas at home. I have always dreamed of going to the mountains and this year I will finally fulfill my plans. Well, even with the person I love. I know that our relatives, especially those who live in my house, do not like this decision. I love my parents, but my husband and I are spending this year’s holidays in the mountains and that has already been decided. I treat going on holidays as a way to rest and get to know the world, not as a departure from tradition. Of course, my parents don’t understand it, but I don’t feel guilty because I’m a free person and we can have a family meeting anytime, we don’t necessarily need a Christmas tree or Christmas Eve dinner. I am a free person and I will do what I want, not what people expect from me, even those closest to me.
Kaśka.
