Happy Holidays from the Steltman Family! Becoming a parent and watching my girls grow up has changed how I see the holiday season. As I had gotten older, I had forgotten about the magic, mystery and excitement of this season. Watching my girls wake up each morning and want to find their elf on the shelf, seeing houses decorated with lights, it’s all been so nice this year and has un-grinched (I made that word up) my old heart. This year, I want you to think about what you like doing best with your family over the holiday season. What traditions do you follow, what do you find exciting, how does your family choose to enjoy the many holidays that are celebrated over this time?
For your blog post this week, I want you to write out, in the style of a descriptive story, the traditions that your family celebrates that you want to remember when you’re older and pass onto your families, should you choose to have them. Please write your story in the first person (I, me, etc.) and walk us through the experience so that it feels like we’re living it with you!
As an example topic sentence: “As my eyes flutter open, my brain wakes up and reminds me, “IT’S the last day of school!” I race to get my clothes on to celebrate this exciting day.
