I have the best of both worlds. I still have a little guy to enjoy all the wonderful holiday activities with - coloring and hunting for eggs, sitting in Santa's lap, making valentines, going trick-or-treating, etc. But I also get to have the company of my grown children - sharing a cup of coffee, preparing a meal, catching up on the details of their lives. So for me, holidays are a blast!
They weren't like that when I was a kid. No fighting or anything, just not a house with much joy. Sometimes it makes me sad for my folks to have missed out on all this fun.
