Are We Living in Tomorrow's “Good Ole Days”?
These nostalgic Christmas videos that keep coming across my screen got me thinking…
Last nights video left me with mixed emotions. The video was simple. Christmas music played as scenes of Christmases gone by quickly displayed across the screen.
There was no voice, only text that read:
”When life is feeling heavy, I close my eyes and remember the feeling of the Christmases I used to know.”
Visions of my youthful Christmases went through my head… big family gatherings, eating at the table (unless you were a kid and got sent to the ‘kid table’), and the smell of food wafted through the house.
These were happy, simple times.
When Nikki was younger, she had the same kind of gatherings. Even after the divorce, her dad’s family welcomed us.
But by the time she was twelve, the faces at the table were fewer on both sides of the family.
Now Nikki’s almost 30. I wonder if she looks back on her childhood Christmases and thinks of them as “the good ole days.” I suppose I could ask 🤔
But then another thought hit me… twenty or thirty years from now, will today’s Christmases be the good ole days?
I don’t see how they can be.
Maybe the truth is, every season of life gives us its own version of the good ole days. Even the one we’re in right now.
What do you think?
