"Cultures grow on the vine of tradition." John Goldenberg
Remember when we were younger, and everything "seemed" better. Well let's be honest here, it WAS better! People practiced, enjoyed, and looked forward to traditions. Whether it was traditions of faith, or mom's Christmas pies, those silly games we played as children, those ever obviously wonderful memories and continue to reminisce about.
Tradition
1. the handing down from generation to generation of the same customs, beliefs, etc.
2. the body of customs, thought, practices, etc., belonging to a particular country, people, family, or institution over a relatively long period
3. a specific custom or practice of long standing
Everyone always seems so busy today and they make a lot of excuses. Yes, we must work to live, but what about creating those happy memories too! Don't fill your days with lifeless memories and missed opportunities.
Traditions can be crazy, silly, meaningful or just plainly traditional.
Here are some great websites to help you get started on creating traditions.
