Family Traditions: Keeping the Past Alive
When we were growing up, our parents made sure to have some kind of traditions with us. We would have Easter dinner and go to church every Sunday, Thanksgiving would be a family affair, aunts, uncles, and cousins. We love it all and have lost so many, we try and keep these traditions with my niece and nephew,
Family time has always been a big thing with us, all our family getting together is the best, we have just moved back home and have had some barbeques and we got to see our family that we haven’t seen in years, they have been the best of times. Encourage family members to share stories and memories associated with the dishes. Consider incorporating new recipes alongside traditional ones to keep the holiday meal fresh and exciting.
If your looking for some ideas here’s a couple, family outings, going to the movies, beach day, apple picking are all things that can become a tradition. I know when we were young our family and our Aunts and Uncles, and all their kids would go down the shore that was one of our traditions and all those memories we all have.
: Designate a night for sharing family stories, whether they’re personal anecdotes or tales passed down through generations. This can be a fun and educational way to connect with your family’s history.Seasonal activities: Embrace the changing seasons by participating in seasonal activities, such as apple picking in the fall, ice skating in the winter, or gardening in the spring.
These are all great new and old traditions, that should be passed along from generation to generation. Loving your family and friends is an awesome feeling and having sweet memories is the best part.
