This year, I stayed in California for the holidays. At first I was pretty anxious about it. I am very close with my family, so the thought of not seeing them on a holiday made me very sad. But I had spent a lot of amount of money to travel for Thanksgiving and was tired from so much traveling. So we tried a new tradition.
California Christmas was stress free. We slept in, we exchanged gifts, went on a long walk and cooked a nice dinner. Even though I missed my family and it was strange to be so warm, I was glad that we tried something new. And being on a beach on Christmas was certainly nice.
