so i'm in the space of defining my own family trad so i'm in the space of defining my own family traditions, alongside events that are a big deal in society but of zero significance to me. i didn't grow up celebrating Halloween, but my Nana did. and the only way i'd get a costume or go trick or treating is if i was at Nana's house. that was something my mom chose to be lenient about because she trusted my Nana would keep us safe. 

that being said, my child will not participate at all, with anyone, ever. i haven't that amount of trust in a single soul. 

as a mom, i believe in providing unbiased information about holidays to my offspring.. she's still young, and i'm very comfortable discussing the origins of rituals and symbols. so when i'm asked "why don't you celebrate XYZ holiday" my answer is simple. "that's not what we do."

PS. this farm experience left a lot to be desired. i checked before i pulled up, the reviews were great!! but i'm not people. πŸ™ƒ
if i knew then what i know now βœ¨πŸ’œ what's some if i knew then what i know now βœ¨πŸ’œ
what's some advice you would give to your younger self?
