I'd like to know who it was that decided that as adults we don't get to participate in the fun holiday activities. Or am I just too immature to really understand why it is we don't get to? I miss the days of hunting for Easter eggs and getting a really cool basket full of candy and toys and new books. In my family all the cousins would search for the golden egg and it was full of all sorts of good things, including money. It was that plastic egg that ladies pantyhose used to come in. I miss knowing that I was too young and I was never gonna find that egg before the older kids, but I'd still like to try from time to time.
I know that I still get to dress up for Halloween but I'm really jealous when I see all the kids go out with pillowcases and such trick or treating. What the heck is up with having to stay at home and just answer the door over and over again?
And Christmas is okay, but all the work that is put into helping Santa get ready for the next morning takes a lot of the fun out of it. I'd like to go to bed early and come out in the morning with an unimaginable spread laid out before me.
I will say that on Thanksgiving I do really enjoy the adult table more than the kids table so atleast I have that going for me.
I'm just sayin is all. I'd like to have some ridiculous fun as well on the holidays instead of just being a bystander. Who decided that it had to stop for adults and what can we do to change this travesty?
I should've invited you to our family egg hunt at my dad's this morning. I walked away with a bunch of candy and $13.
