With the holidays fastly approaching it only peeks my curiosity on how my birth family celebrates them, and who all is apart of their holiday traditions.
Well mainly who am I going to spend my holidays with this year. My birth mom told me I was not aloud to not be with my adoptive family for the holidays, if I tried to spend it all with them she said she would beat my ass and drag me back down to my parents and family.
I love spending time with my mom and dad and family for Christmas and Thanksgiving its always been the same every year since I was a small child, we have a big huge Thanksgiving for everyone mom and dads side at our house, and then for Christmas Eve we spend it with my moms side, and Christmas day is spent with my parents then later on with my dads side. Well with a new family in the mix how will I see them and get to spend time with them.
Questions I have and want answered, that I do not know yet; How important are the holidays for them?, does the whole family come together?, does my birth dad have anything to dowith the holidays?, where do you normally celebrate them?, what type of family traditions do you have that you celebrate every year? In time I will hopefully figure these things out. What I hopefully want to do is go up for Christmas definitely but do I buy them all presents, will they give me presents. Who knows I know everything will work out though, I just don't want anyone to feel forgotten or unloved with the decisions I choose to make about the holiday season.
I don't understand why your birth mom feels like she has the right to "claim" you over your adoptive family. Can't you share your time?
