Christmas

I have just returned home from dropping my daughter and her boyfriend off at their place. My daughter is 21 and is the light of my life.
I don't celebrate Christmas myself as I am on the path of return to Judaism, but my daughter does.
I am her only family here on the West coast, (my ex-husband and other daughter live on the other side of the country)
As her only family, I try to give my daughter a little celebration to make her day a little more special.
I would like to say that this is the only reason, but that would be a lie. I also do it for me. I won't go into it here, maybe never will, but for reasons that are private, I did not get to spend the holidays with my daughters for the past few years, so I try to make the holiday really nice.

Today, I made brunch and we had a nice time. I made waffles, frittattas, sausage and mimosas. We opened gifts, and we watched "A Christmas Story"

I will be honest, I did and will continue to do Christmas for my daughter and if she has children, I will do Christmas for them as well.
Of course, I will also make sure to expose them to Channukah.

The rest of the evening, I will just kick back and relax with my husband, maybe watch a movie. After all, being with those we love, that is the real reason for Christmas.
