Holiday Memories
Tuesday, November 25th, 2008Shopping for Hannukah and Christmas gifts reminds me of the religious exchange between my doting parents every year before the holidays. Dad flails his arms in an attempt to rescue his adult children from what he refers to as “drunken sailor shopping disease”.
“I don’t believe in all this gift-giving gibberish. Back when I was a kid, we were thrilled when we got a half a sour pickle as a holiday gift. Extra money, if it’s extra at all, should be given to the Salvation Army, the local shelter, the city’s homeless and to others in need, not squandered on unnecessary things”, he sputters from his perch on the easy chair.
Mom sighs and says, “It’s true that there are these who are more needy, but what about the kids? Don’t they wait all year for Santa’s gifts? And also, I think it’s wonderful that we have the opportunity to show how much we love them, and how joyful we are when they’re happy. It’s only once a year, you know.”
And so, then, Dad reluctantly joins in the planning of the holiday preparations. Slowly, the tree gets adorned with ornaments and socks appear above the mantle. Not to mention, of course, the gift-wrapped presents that mysteriously appear. There’s no denying it; the Holidays are surely full of miracles!
