Family Traditions Family Traditions What is the meaning of tradition' According to Webster’s Ninth New Collegiate Dictionary: An inherited, established, or customary pattern of thought, action, or behavior (as a religious practice or social custom); the handing down of information, beliefs, and customs by word of mouth or example from one generation to another without written instruction; cultural continuity in social attitudes and institutions. When I think of traditions, I immediately think of family traditions—things that we do for certain events year after year. One in particular comes to mind. It was a cold and rainy Christmas Day. My mother was the first one up, already preparing the homemade cinnamon rolls and hot chocolate that we always had for breakfast. She woke me up next so I wouldn’t miss the first hour of the Christmas Parade. While watching the parade, I had the dutiful task of taking the decoration pictures. I was to go around the house and take a picture of how everything looked, from the tree all the way down to the cinnamon rolls. This year though was different.
