Going into the office- I loathe the drive, but I love seeing all of the people. Things are so social when we’re in the office that we’ve been able to confirm that we’re more productive at home.
Bleacher time with our travel ball family- We’ve been on several travel teams and have been fortunate to have two that were like family. It’s so much fun being together during games, cheering on our kids and sharing the frustrations over any ridiculousness.
Christmas Campout- While we haven’t been able to attend in recent years due to kid activities, it’s the best social gathering we’ve got with friends and family. Minus a wedding year (most of the same people just in formal attire) and 2020/covid…a bunch of our close family friends and family gather on our friends’ wooded acreage for a holiday camp out over the first weekend in December. Friday night, everyone sets up their tents and comes together around the campfire to catch up, have some drinks, and listen to several of the guys play guitar. Saturday starts with everyone making breakfast in the woods, stringing cranberry and popcorn garlands to decorate “the tree,” horseshoes, fishing in the pond, nature walks, the gathering of firewood, a football game, dinner in the woods, a giant sing a long around the now massive campfire, skits by age group, and then drinking and socializing all night around the fire. Sunday starts with breakfast, campsite clean up, the kids’ surprise (a piñata), and then we seek out the tree. The tree, for the last 15 or so years, was planted for a friend that passed from cancer. We decorate the tree with the garlands we made, we form a circle, join hands, and sing all of the various verses of We Wish You a Merry Christmas. After that, we go around hugging and saying our goodbyes. This tradition has been going on since the 1970s and Saturday night sing a long can bring in as many as 80 people.
