What traditions or rituals really matter to you and your family? Like how did they even get started.. were they handed down from grandparents and older generations or are they things you guys just naturally started doing as your family grew?

I'm curious if we're talking about the big holiday stuff or if it's more the everyday things that feel just as important. You know like maybe you always do Sunday dinners together or there's a specific bedtime routine with the kids or you grab coffee together every Saturday morning. Sometimes those regular little rituals end up meaning more than the once-a-year celebrations.

For my family, birthdays and Sunday family lunch is a big deal. Even if someone is far away, we try to gather somehow. We also pray together every morning sometimes, nothing too extra, just to create a strong family bond.

Sunday evening meals. There are usually no devices, just meals and talk. We began this tradition during my childhood. I have maintained it since.

It'should he the Christmas festival. It is an annual festival commemorating the birth of Jesus Christ. We are big on this as we observed primarily on December 25 as a religious and cultural celebration . We come together as family to celebrate.
