# Xmas 2022 - Link: https://mywalkabout.net/xmas-2022/ - Published: 2023-05-06T04:17:26-07:00 - Author: My Walkabout **I bought a Star Wars advent calendar** for the 2022 Christmas holiday season. The joy of opening up a new door every day filled me with child-like wonder and joy. **I make the long drive** from Phoenix to Salt Lake City to spend Christmas Eve and Day with family. I stay with my brother that is closest in age to me, but it feels strange now that his oldest has moved out. She is the niece and family member that I am closest to. Their house is full of christmas spirit and memories of those in our family that have passed on. ![](https://i0.wp.com/mywalkabout.net/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/HipstamaticPhoto- 693697256.564521.jpg?resize=640%2C457&ssl=1) **I see my parents new home again** for the second time as we all get together here. It feels like a rental to me, but like most things, I’m having a hard time relating to my family being so far away. ![](https://i0.wp.com/mywalkabout.net/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/IMG_6467.jpg?resize =640%2C495&ssl=1) **Before I know it**, the few days have come and gone, and it’s time for me to hit the road again for another adventure. ![](https://i0.wp.com/mywalkabout.net/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/IMG_6436.jpg?resize =640%2C790&ssl=1) ### Share this: * [ Email ](https://mywalkabout.net/xmas-2022/?subject=%5BShared%20Post%5D%20Xmas%202022&body=https%3A%2F%2Fmywalkabout.net%2Fxmas-2022%2F&share=email) * [Post](https://x.com/share) * [Share on Tumblr](https://www.tumblr.com/share) * [ WhatsApp ](https://mywalkabout.net/xmas-2022/?share=jetpack-whatsapp) * [ Nextdoor ](https://mywalkabout.net/xmas-2022/?share=nextdoor) * [ Threads ](https://mywalkabout.net/xmas-2022/?share=threads) * [[ * [Tweet](https://twitter.com/share) * [ Reddit ](https://mywalkabout.net/xmas-2022/?share=reddit) ### Like this: Like Loading…
