[quote=Anonymous]NP here that has read many, but not all, of the pages in this thread. OP- the title of this thread strikes a chord. I think it is ok for you to be sad, but perhaps for different reasons then I believe you have stated. It's sad to think your family tradition is ending or changing. Absolutely. But so is life....you are setting yourself up for a lot of hardship if you can't learn to be fluid with traditions. Your own kids may or may not adopt your traditions when they are older. Will that be sad, similar to the current situation you're facing? Yes. But how you choose to embrace this change, and that which will surely come with your own children, will be the key to creating happiness and evolving traditions. Let your kids see you adapt and find a new happiness in these changes. It's fine to think fondly about traditions growing up; it makes for awesome storytelling. But don't hold your happiness, and your kids', hostage to the past.[/quote]
