Family Traditions

Family traditions are practices or beliefs that create positive feelings in families and are repeated at regular intervals. They’re more than routines, which are ordinary, everyday activities that require no special behavior and involve little emotion. Often traditions are handed down from generation to generation, but every family can create its own traditions as well. Some traditions are based on religious beliefs, such as praying before meals. Others come from cultural or ethnic heritage, such as serving dumplings on cold winter nights.
