As mentioned in the last blog, traditions and memories go hand in hand. Memories are a little different from traditions, but to be honest, they aren’t that far from being the same.
A memory, according to Google, is something that’s remembered from the past; it’s a recollection of something. If you want to learn about some of the fun fall memories we create as a family, or want some fall memory ideas, go read this blog. A tradition is the transmission of customs or beliefs from generation to generation, or passed along through the generations. As you can tell, the actual definitions of these words are pretty different, but let me ask you this. Are the traditions you make in your family memories that you will cherish forever? Are the memories you make often repeated and considered to be a “tradition” that you continue with? I know for me, the traditions my family had growing up often reflect a lot in my memories, and they will always be something I look back at and reminisce about.
Traditions happen in every family, whether they realize it’s one or not. Most people claim that their family traditions revolve around the national holidays, but what they don’t realize is that family traditions probably happen a lot more frequently than they’d think. Something our families do each week is Sunday dinners. Whether we go spend time with Ethan’s side of the family, mine, or both. We always have Sunday dinners with at least one side of the family. Very rarely do we have family dinners by ourselves. It’s more of a habit that we all get together, but for me, it’s considered a tradition, and I’ll tell you why.
