I didn't know you were back to blogging! Hurrah! :) This was an absolutely beautiful piece; I agree with katray - all that matters is gathering, being together, giving yourself...these are the things that create truly lasting bonds. Wonderful post! And I'm thrilled to see you writing again :)

Nothing else matters, I feel
except the gathering and giving of yourself in whatever ways possible. Thank you for sharing memories and your wonderful traditions.

jems, your Portuguese extraction has probably taught you that.
They were strangers in a strange land and had to evolve new traditions and hang together. Portuguese in Hawaii, I like thinking about their challenges and changes.

So True
Being with loved ones and being happy are the only traditions that really matter around the holidays.
