30 Things Parents Celebrate Other Than Christmas
During the holiday season, I have at times contemplated the term “to celebrate.” For some, celebrating means quietly rejoicing with happiness over good news or a fortuitous event. For others, celebrating means loudly rejoicing with happiness over good news or a fortuitous event. The dictionary says it is:
to publicly acknowledge (a significant or happy day or event) with a social gathering or enjoyable activity.
