I guilt-tripped my teen into joining a family Christmas tradition. I'm mourning the days when my kids loved the holidays.

As my children move out of the house, I know they will have different priorities. I'm trying to accept this change while also allowing myself to be sad.
I'll admit it: I guilted her into going. I said sadly that I wasn't sure how many more years we'd all be together to do this. I bribed her with Starbucks.
I noticed a few years ago that the pile of Christmas picture books I always bring out went unread. Our traditions have been changing for a few years now.
But I don't know if this will happen next year. The views were breathtaking, even if we were freezing as we admired them. We had a wonderful time.
