Whatever your traditions are, they are what make your time during these holidays unique and your own. For better or for worse, make note of the fact that they will not last forever.

Keeping a family tradition alive with help
Q. I am getting ready for my annual trip out east to spend time with my mother over the holidays.
Mom is in her 80s and it is getting more and more difficult for her to do everything — yet she insists on keeping up all of the old traditions and will not allow any of us to help.
By the time I leave she is exhausted and I am stressed and feeling guilty. Is there any way to convince her all the “fuss” is not necessary, without hurting her feelings?
