If we don't have happy memories from holidays past, then it becomes all the more important to create special moments now that will become memories in the future. We want to relive those moments from the past when we felt safe, secure, happy, and connected (or at least the times we remember that way - even if they didn't actually happen exactly as we remember them). Our children need memories and traditions to grow into their future, and we need our memories and traditions to step back into the comfort of the past for a moment. Memories can give us comfort, direction, inspiration, and hope. They help us make sense of our life and find meaning in it. Memories make up the story of our life that exists in our mind. A holiday is also a time when you engage in familiar activities - activities that have been repeated over the years and through the generations, and which you hope will continue to be repeated in future years and by new generations.įor individuals, the holidays are very much about memories and traditions formed in childhood. ![]() Think about it: what would a holiday be without the memories and traditions that separate it from the blur of every other day of the year? A holiday is a time when you remember - holidays past, the year past, those you have known, and even who you once were. ![]() Memories, traditions, and holidays go together. ![]()
