It’s so strange, when I type it out, but it’s just something we’ve always done that I love. Ever since I was little, my dad takes one of them and I have to figure out who is missing and find where they are hidden in my parents’ home. My parents have a tiny table top nativity scene, where all of the figurines are only 2-6 inches tall.

There are a few traditions I have with my family that I still love, as well.

We’ve been friends for over ten years, and on Christmas Eve Eve, as always pick a restaurant we want to try out and have dinner before we sit in front of one of their Christmas trees and systematically order who will open gifts first! Oh, I have several traditions I love at the holidays!įor starters, exchanging gifts with my two best friends. What are some of your favorite holiday traditions? I had to reread When You Least Expect It as part of my holiday reads. Which puts their life paths at odds as they fall for one another, as Taylor’s take me where the wind blows attitude and Brooke’s immovable destiny don’t exactly match up! In spite of knowing one another for their entire lives, Taylor and Brooke really start to get to know one another one a whole new level when Taylor returns to town. Which would be FINE, if Taylor wasn’t also the person who made her realize she was gay in her teenage years and has felt drawn to her ever since. She left her hometown in Tennessee after a tumultuous childhood and hasn’t looked back ever since – until decades later, in the beginning of In the Long Run.īrooke Watson is Taylor’s younger brother Ben’s best friend, and Taylor’s diametric opposite – she would never willingly leave their hometown, she takes herself and everything else very seriously, and Taylor drives her absolutely insane. Taylor Vandenberg is a self-described (and… others would say it as well!) nomad and hippie, who is very lighthearted and doesn’t want to take life too seriously. In the Long Run is a story about coming home, family, and finding who you really are and what really matters to you.
