Christmas Tree on Display in Beijing, China
It has been many a year since Dave and I celebrated Christmas on Christmas day with our families. We always tend to be traveling during the winter months and have yet to put down any roots to start a regular holiday tradition.
Our holiday tradition has been to run away from Christmas at home and go somewhere else. Anywhere else.
We have been feeling a little blue this year. We are missing our Christmas at home with our families more than ever.
Maybe it is because we were too busy and working too hard this past summer . We had many goals that we wanted to fulfill during our three months in Canada and we neglected the people that matter most in our lives. Instead we had our noses in our computers and the summer months flew by. Before we knew it, we were leaving again and had only seen our family and friends a handful of times.
So here we are celebrating another Christmas by ourselves in yet another country. This year it is Thailand and we will be kickboxing through the entire holidays. That will definitely help to take our minds off of not being at home.
To cheer ourselves up, we reminded ourselves just how much we enjoy our Christmases abroad. We have always chosen to go away and our families now have their own traditions without us. We will just have to make our own Christmas traditions and it looks like our tradition is going to be to travel through Christmas. It is what we have done for the past 10 years, no sense changing things now. By revisiting our past Christmases, we are reminded just how natural it is for us to be away.
