Family Traditions to Start

30 items

Traditions feel like something inherited, but every one of them was started by somebody who just did the same thing twice. Draw one and commit to a year. Thirty ideas spanning weekly, seasonal and annual, most costing nothing. The rule that makes a tradition take hold is repetition rather than quality: the slightly rubbish thing you do every single year becomes the one the children describe to their own families later.
