Tradition!

How do you celebrate holidays?

Remember Fiddler on the Roof?

I have always loved tradition. I love hearing about every cultures celebrations. I love that as humans we have a long history of celebrating. It seems to me that celebration is a kind of thankfulness. We repeat this year after year passing a little of who we are as family down through generations. Does it remind us that we are part of something? I like feeling connected. Connection seems important.

I know when I’ve been away from home or someone else is, I’m miss my family. I miss each individual and I miss our whole. Even while embracing and appreciating other’s family and their unique traditions, I can’t help missing mine.

It might be a little comforting to make a certain food or add a favorite decoration or hunt down hot cross buns or poppers, it’s never the same without my beloved family members around.

Life moves fast. Change is happening continually. I think tradition can be a comforting constant. I think celebrating is fun. Its a sweet way to share our love, and add some beauty, light and magic into our lives.
