Traditions

Traditions can be wonderful things. We have eaten several meals by candle light in the last week or so and the girls think it is wonderful. Why? I don't know. I remember as a child we would eat by the light of a candle on special occasions. For some reason it was very special. Another thing we did as a family around Christmas was looking at slides. This was quite an ordeal because we had to borrow the projector and screen from my grandfather. First, we would have some sort of finger food available. We would sit in the living room laughing and reminiscing about life in the good ole days while munching on popcorn or fudge. Of course, the good ole days may have been last week but it was fun to laugh about them. The slides would spark the brain into remembering other interesting stories. These stories always begin with You remember when.... What sort of things are you doing with your family to help them treasure or remember their childhood? What traditions are you establishing in your home that your children will use when they are married.
