I mentioned in previous posts that my tribemates and I have lived together as a family for almost 30 years now and that we all came from different types of abusive households. Holidays and such were always awful for us in different ways and when we first decided to live together and make our own family we talked about what we would or wouldn't do for holidays. We decided to do nothing and celebrate or not as we chose - something we were never allowed to do growing up.
Generally, holidays come and go for us. We don't do anything special and most times don't acknowledge them in any way. As a group we cook large meals and eat together throughout the year anyway and don't tend to equate any kind of special aspect to it. Usually we do coop gaming together, something we don't always have time for given our different work schedules.
I appreciate and thank you for sharing your thoughts on how the choices you all have made work for you and your tribemates. It's important for me to understand not everyone has had the experience I have. And, that other's choices to celebrate or not should be approached with empathy. 💜
@CherNohio I love your posts ❤️ It really helps me to have a vision of different things. My experience growing up was horrendous, traumatizing, and negative so it's always cool to see how different people enjoy holidays and of course all the different foods they have. I love it and value it. I think holidays are always so different for everyone but there is a value in learning all the different ways one can celebrate things. Your kale salad is something I may be making SOON. ❤️

If you would, allow me to be all mushy and stuff. I'm really thankful this year that we have crossed paths here. I mean that most sincerely. 💜
