The problem here is lack of grandchildren. Without them, Christmas isn't so special. But, that whiskey sounds good. Perhaps you should spend quality time with your parents through out the year. Let them live vicariously through your successes; give them kindness while you still can. It's your last chance to make an effort to make them feel good. They won't last forever.
I do my best for them. I do spend quality time with them. But sadly, we can only spend about a 2-3 weeks together in the summer, I still need a week for beach time, mostly cause of my girlfriend and a week in winter during the holidays, cause I live and work in Germany. I will get back to Bulgaria in the next 5-7 years and then we can spend a lot more time together, since they live in a house in the mountains, an hour drive away from our apartment, where I'll be living.
They do feel good when I'm around, but it's always a bit bittersweet, cause I know they won't last forever. And they are the people I love most in my life.
As for grandchildren, too early. Kids are expensive, kids in Germany are really damn expensive. When I move back to Bulgaria, I do wish to start a family with my girlfriend.
Christmas is sort of bittersweet for everybody. Pontificate a bit when you have a shot of that sipping whiskey with your Mom and Dad. You'll remember those moments after they are gone. That is when your memories will become your treasures.
Does Christmas seems less chearful as the years go by?
