Can Christmas and its traditions ever go back to the way they were? 🎄
. The pandemic has made it quite clear that life is too short and unpredictable to be unhappy or hold grudges, and this has definitely factored into our attitudes towards the holidays.
Christmas is predominantly hailed as a family-based holiday. From Christmas adverts and films, to matching mummy-and-me pyjamas, there is an unspoken rule that if you’re not spending the day with family, it’s not really Christmas. The concept of ‘family’ is always pre-defined for us as referring to those biologically related to us – largely as a result of the idea of the ‘nuclear family’. However, such an idealised expectation is not the most realistic standard to have in our modern society.
‘The pandemic removed the sense of how Christmas “has to be” and allowed people to think about new ways of being.’ Due to restrictions, there was a lot less of this online. Was this the break we needed from our overly optimistic online presences? Or did it actually make us realise that we need to spend more time focused on the people around us?
