Spending the holidays with my family and having fun with them are two of the things that I take very seriously. Not spending enough time with my family and not making the best of the holidays are what really disappointed me this year because my family is what means most to me.
This year, I spent Christmas with my mom’s side of the family, which was in Palmdale, California. While I spent New Years in San Diego with my dads side of the family. I had fun being around all of my uncles, aunts, cousins and grandparents, but still had some disappointments when doing so. Whenever my family is together, my cousins, brothers and I love to joke around and just have a good time. One thing that really sets me off is when my aunts and uncles can be a little too serious. Though we all are practically adults now, we still have our moments where we want to have some childish crazy fun. I just want my family to know that there are times to be serious, but it can’t hurt to spice things up a little with a game or two.
My biggest concern for the holidays was not being around my brothers and cousins as much as I wanted to. For one reason, was because everyone had their own thing going on after Christmas and New Years. After both Holidays, most of my cousins and I went out with our friends to celebrate the New Year. Getting caught up with our personal lives can sometimes tear us apart from what we know is most important, which is family.
Having my family together in one big room is what really makes me happy at the end of the day. Just being around everyone that I love is what makes life worth it. I hope to spend more quality time with them as the holidays come next year. Though I had some disappointments, I will still continue to love and cherish my family as the years go by no matter what!
