At midnight tonight exactly three months remain in 2009. Several holidays occur in those three months and three of those holidays bring back memories of my grandparents and Blackwell, Oklahoma. Those three holidays are Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas. My grandparents celebrated or commemorated those holidays in different ways.

Halloween, Christmas,
and Thanksgiving bring back
childhood memories.

Every family commemorates these holidays in different ways. Every family has their own Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas traditions. It is the happy memories of holidays which come back to us in later years. Sadness tempers happy memories. This is the way it should be because we can't appreciate joy without remembering the tears.
