Traditions. Honorable Mention in The Ritual of Winter Challenge. Top Story - December 2025.
I was never much of a fan of christmas, the death of family members and funerals leaks over all the memories. I was young when it happened, nobody taught me how to grieve. It was always just a "they're with god now," and "my condolences." It's not like I was close with my grandparents, they lived far away and I rarely ever saw them. My dad's mom left us on my brother’s birthday and her funeral was December 24th, that was my first ever green christmas. Five years later, my mom’s dad passed away on December 24th. So, as I said before, death and funerals were my biggest memory about christmas, since I was quite young.
