As the festive season approaches, we tend to be enveloped by a mixed emotion. Expectation, joy, anxiety ......These emotions are intertwined and indescribable. Especially for middle-aged people, the festival seems to be no longer a simple time to get together, but more of a burden.
In the midst of the busy holiday preparations, we always try our best to make a good impression on our relatives and friends. However, when the dust settles, we often feel an inexplicable emptiness and exhaustion. Those carefully prepared dishes, those painstaking arrangements, do not seem to bring us the expected satisfaction and joy.
What's even more helpless is that gatherings between relatives are often a "psychological contest". Comparison, showing off, sarcasm ......These seem to be unavoidable topics in the party. In such an environment, it is difficult for us to truly relax and enjoy the time together.
However, shouldn't the festival be meant to be that way? It should be a day for us to put aside the stresses and worries of life for a while and have fun with our family and friends. So why don't we bring the holiday back to its roots?
Perhaps, we can try to celebrate the holiday in a more relaxed and natural way. There is no need for tedious preparation, and there is no need for deliberate show-offs. We can invite those relatives and friends who can really make us feel happy and relaxed to come to our home and enjoy that simple and pure joy.
At the same time, we can also try to find activities that will make us feel content and joy in our hearts. Whether you're out traveling, enjoying a good movie, or just spending a leisurely afternoon with your family, it's a great choice. As long as it makes us feel happy and satisfied, then the holiday is meaningful.
In conclusion, the festival is our own festival and we should celebrate it in our own way. Don't be swayed by external pressures and expectations, and don't be limited by the constraints of tradition. Only in this way can we truly enjoy the beauty and joy that the festival brings.
