It is never too late to start a new tradition with your kids. It still remains to be seen if it turns out to be a new tradition but I remain hopeful.
I never saw my two kids at Christmas time. I was divorced since 2002 and I never remember seeing them then. It was always a painful time for me. I was always reminded my two kids lived with their Mom.
Last night I had my two kids over for Hanukkah (I am Jewish, too). I decided to celebrate Hanukkah and Christmas early last night. Hanukkah is eight days long and my “window” is much larger to see them.
I made potato latkes (potato pancakes) and cheesecake cupcakes for dinner for them and my wife. We exchanged Christmas presents. It was a pleasant evening and gave me hope that I might have started a new tradition.
The holidays were always a “hard” time for me. It is never too late to start a new tradition.
