Of  course  both  Deborah  and  I  have  also  had  to  adjust  our  expectations  about  what  Christmas  day  would  be  like.  Part  of  the  adjustment  was  that  our  families  had  somewhat  different  traditions,  and  so  most  years  one  or  the  other  (or  both)  of  us  had  to  give  up  some  tradition.  Anther  part  of  the  ad-­ justment  (mostly  for  her)  was  that  my  family  gatherings  involved  a  lot  more  people,  and  were  louder  and  more  overwhelming. And  becoming  parents  also  requires  a  change  in  expectation.  We  move  from  being  primarily  the  recipients  of  gifts  (as  children  and  grandchildren)  to  being  the  givers  of  gifts,  often  to  those  who  have  no  means  (and  early  on  perhaps  not  even  much  thought)  of  reciprocating.  It  is  not  by  any  means  a  bad  shift  in  expectations.  Giving  re-­ ally  is  more  blessed  and  delightful  than  receiving.  But  it  is  a  shift  nonetheless.  3XWWLQJ DQ H[SHQVLYH QHZ Ă€\ URG RU reel  on  my  Christmas  wish  list  would  be  an  exercise  in  futility.  Waiting  to  watch  a  child  open  some  new  sporting  item  or  piece  of  electronics  â€”  hope-­ fully  with  great  delight  â€”  becomes  the  new  expectation.  2WKHU DGMXVWPHQWV FDQ EH PRUH GLIÂż-­ cult.  I  was  given  my  middle  name  after  my  maternal  grandfather  Tom  Riddle.  (Yes,  Harry  Potter  fans.  I  really  did  have  a  grandfather  with  that  name.)  *UDQGSD 5LGGOH ORYHG WR ÂżVK DQG KXQW and  I’m  sure  I  inherited  some  of  that  passion  from  him.  He  died  on  a  Christ-­ mas  Day  when  I  was  15  years  old.  I  remember  getting  the  phone  call  and  having  to  relay  the  news  to  my  mother  who  had  taken  a  walk  to  our  neighbors  to  pass  on  the  day’s  greetings.  And  about  a  decade  later,  my  mother’s  only  sister  died  over  the  holidays,  suffering  a  stroke  just  two  days  before  Christmas  that  put  her  into  a  coma  from  which  she  never  awoke.  Though  these  two  deaths  did  not  remove  for  my  mother  all  of  the  joy  of  Christmas,  they  did  make  the  holiday  more  bittersweet  for  her  and  her  family,  partly  shaping  their  expectations  for  the  season.

It’s  against  the  law  to  discriminate  when  advertising  housing. Particularly  on  sites  like  Craigslist.
