I discovered that family traditions (no matter how goofy they are) are more important than we realize. In fact, I was reading an article that said Christmas traditions matter because:

• They provide comfort and a sense of belonging
  They create lasting memories
  They build strong family bonds
  They give everyone something to look forward to

When your family does something together year after year, it becomes a part of who you are and how you celebrate.

Although people sometimes grumble about spending time with family over the holidays, it’s actually the traditions that help us feel closer to the ones we love. The more rituals we engage in as a collective, the merrier we are!
