cToday we're talking about redefining Thanksgiving Traditions in midlife. This may be especially relevant if your tradition will necessarily change due to a change in status. This could be due to divorce, loss of a parent, being newly empty-nested or simply that you want to try something new!
Traditions are great, until they're not. I think sometimes we fail to recognize this. We expect the 'Norman Rockwell' painting during the Holidays, when in fact, that rarely happens; it's a complete illusion!
We want you to embrace new traditions. Take what you enjoyed from past traditions and let go of the rest. Expectations can be joy-killers.
Cam and Amelia give you a humorous, heart-warming look at what creating new traditions can look like.
