Embracing Flexibility in Traditions

Maintaining holiday traditions can be challenging due to busy schedules, but it is possible to embrace flexibility without losing their significance. The idea that traditions don’t have to occur every year allows for a more manageable approach while still creating meaningful memories. For instance, attending events like the Rockettes or the Nutcracker can be planned on an every-other-year basis, making each experience feel more special and fresh. This mindset helps alleviate disappointment when unable to partake in yearly traditions, reminding us that traditions can persist over multiple years without diminishing their value.
