[quote=Anonymous]I love all of these traditions from my childhood, but as a parent (and even before I had kids) I’ve felt like holidays gets stretched out way too much. Much of what I loved about the holiday season as a kid was actually the anticipation. Now Lidl is putting out Christmas stuff before Halloween has even happened. And Advent isn’t actually a thing outside of Church. And, as a parent, I’m finding that it’s actually exhausting for my small children to have constant celebration. My wife insisted on us going to two Halloween parades last weekend followed by a Halloween event at my job and then TOT the night off. I don’t think my kids were happier because of more events—they really want quality time with their parents, and a more low-key approach results in better behavior and happier children, imho. And it’s stressful for me to have to do all this stuff and still handle basics like chores, shopping, meals, and bedtime on top of it all. [/quote]
