"The" holidays... year after year, there are many similarities and it's also a way to measure our growth or lack of growth. We can always remember something about last year at this time. Personally, I was in a different place than I am now. Was it a better or worse place? Just different, that's all.
Our feelings about the holidays depend on the religion we grew up and our spiritual beliefs today. It also depends on whether family holidays were good things or nightmares. Those who experienced the nightmares as children will know exactly what I mean. Not everyone has happy memories.
I've always noticed how people will drop their disciplines at this time of year, and this is exactly when the opposite should happen. There's more food, sweets and alcohol available now, and if you are someone who is trying to avoid those things or keep them to a minimum, it's a challenging time. I always think about where I want to be in January and that keeps me in tow during December. What are we really craving? Why are we filling ourselves up with everything but what it is we really want at this time of year?
