2023 SYW: Week of December 18

Here are this week’s questions:


1. Do you enjoy or get frustrated with the run up to the festive holidays?

The older I get the holiday festivities are not important. I do not do a lot of extensive shopping or engage in any festivities anymore. My family no longer congregates together for holidays. I wish it was different, but it’s not, so no point in getting frustrated over it.


2. Do you like family gatherings on a regular basis?

When I was growing up family gatherings happened often with extended family, however, that seemed to end after my maternal grandfather passed. Nowadays, each part of the family unit tends to do their own thing and are not interested in gathering for large family get togethers. I miss them, but I don’t stress over them.


3. What is your favourite family memory?

I’m not sure I have a favorite family memory. I treasure the memories I spent with my dad, sharing a common interest in stamp collecting and photography. We took a class through adult education on the local high school in photography where we learned how to develop 35mm film. The time we spent together was what was memorable.


4. Do you prefer to be a host or visitor for a special occasions?

I would have to select visitor. I have never had a suitable place to host a special occasion.

I am an avid reader. I read mostly Amish fiction but also read other novels. I enjoy romance, mystery, and Christian devotionals. I enjoy hiking in the outdoors, especially in Greenways and State or National Parks. I love my grandson. He is my favorite subject, so I'll post about him and his antics.

  1. Thanks for joining in. I remember family picnics for birthdays and gatherings at Christmas. I have three siblings and a smattering of second and third generation nephews and nieces, but they have their lives of which I am not a part. It’s just the way it is. At least we get a card at Christmas though! Happy holidays.
