Celebrating the holidays

How do you celebrate holidays?

I’m assuming this question refers to big holidays that we celebrate like Easter, Christmas etc and not going on a holiday.

For me, holidays are all about the big occasions, those moments that bring people together. I usually celebrate with friends and family, the people who matter most. I love when we can all get together to celebrate the holidays. There are very few times where we are ALL together but quite often we might have a few different gatherings with loved ones.

There is always food, plenty of drinks, and laughter that fills the room. We share stories, make memories, and of course, take lots of photos to look back on later. We might enjoy music together, play games, watch movies and maybe even get annoyed with each other!

Holidays are about more than just the day itself, they are about connection, joy, and the little moments that stick with you long after. Whether it is a quiet dinner or a big party, what makes it special is the time spent together.

Here in Australia it is a little different as I don’t have much family here and my friendship circle is pretty small but I always have my partner to celebrate the milestones with, we’re very much a two person family. Also I don’t need the celebrations to be particularly flashy, just meaningful and a little different from the normal routine.
