圣诞节的传统
I had a scheduled surgery around the holidays, so my family helped get the house ready for Christmas. In no time at all, the tree was standing with lights and ribbon in place, awaiting the decorations. My husband brought out my carefully stored box. This ordinary box doesn’t look like anything special from the outside, but the inside is filled with treasures from years gone by.
Ever since my kids were small, I would gather them around the tree and tell them the story behind each decoration as they picked a special place to hang it. They were all teenagers with busy work and sports schedules now, but I still wanted to hold tight to our family tradition and decorate the tree together. It took three ridiculously long weeks for that day to come around. When did this get so difficult to arrange? With eager expectation, I got everything out, put on the Christmas music, got the hot chocolate ready, and plugged in all the twinkly lights.
Just as I was ready to call everyone in, our youngest son said basketball practice got moved up. My daughter texted that she might have to stay late at work. And, of course, one of our kids came home not feeling well.
I turned off the music while everyone scattered (分散). I was sad that our plans fell apart after waiting for so long to pull them together. As I was eating my dinner filled with sense of loss, I heard a ping on my phone. My son texted that practice was cut short due to incoming snow. Ping! My daughter was on her way home from work. I called my oldest son at the gym, and he said he’d cut his workout short and head back. That night everyone would be home within the hour. I felt we would have the chance to carry out our practice. After eating together happily, I announced to the family that we would begin our practice.
