Traditions

In some ways, I am a very traditional person, but maybe not in ways you'd expect.

As much of a pragmatist as I can sometimes be, I'm also still a romantic. As serious as I can be, so can I be just as silly. And as adult as I might appear, I can be equally childlike.

This means that come Christmas time, I still like "From Santa" written on some of my presents' tags (*), and at Easter I still long for a wee basket with lots of goodies in.

I haven't had an Easter basket in years, but each year my grandmother still puts "From Santa" on at least one gift. I couldn't imagine Christmas without it. It is one of the few traditions I cling to, that never fails to make me smile. She had wanted to stop years ago, but I asked her not to.
