I think there is a pretty big continum upon which Friends seem to deal with holidays/festivals now. We kind of keep evolving as the years go by, not giving them up but trying to keep them simple, with more meaning and compromise. Truthfully, when this particular weekend was over I was exhausted!<br />Hope you all had a good one.<br />Love,<br />Jan LynJan Lynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05642571561383445699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1182452919488844490.post-44053513961120600002009-04-13T15:44:00.000-04:002009-04-13T15:44:00.000-04:00I love your *egg tree* ~ simple & beautiful. ...I love your *egg tree* ~ simple & beautiful. Interesting you should post on this. I have been aware for some time that some Christians have been finding new signifigance in the OT festivals & recently have started investigating this myself. It looks like being an incredible journey. My Dearest has always objected to Christmas in particular but Easdter comes a close second. I know people need to celebrate [so does God} so felt if you took a holiday away you needed to replace it with something else. Looks like we may have found an answer that works for us & being far more simple is more Quaker in outlook. As I'm on my own in my family [Ditz quakes at the mere thought of a whole hour of silent worship ;)] I'm the one who has to find the compromises.Ganeidahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17176246964466185315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1182452919488844490.post-34661381412265338052009-04-10T06:36:00.000-04:002009-04-10T06:36:00.000-04:00Lovely post.

We keep it pretty simple and focus of the fun and joy of celebrating, not on buying/getting lots of stuff. But I must admit I'd miss the memories of the kids when they were small if we didn't celebrate the holidays in some way. For me there is something very human about needing to gather, enjoy each others company and do something special periodically. It's all about joy, love and fun. Every day is holy. And no day is more holy than another. But some days we allow ourselves the time to just stop and enjoy.<BR/><BR/>Just had a conversaation about this with a new Friend on a trip back from Yearly meeting sessions.Grandma A.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08120045856741056320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1182452919488844490.post-85000388230484681902009-04-09T20:26:00.000-04:002009-04-09T20:26:00.000-04:00I really enjoyed this post and hearing about your ...I really enjoyed this post and hearing about your beliefs on celebrating holidays and how you handle the diversity of those who are near and dear to you.<BR/>I love your photo and the simplicity and beauty of it..<BR/><BR/>ReneeReneehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07089685282700680525noreply@blogger.com
