Family traditions are very visible signs of our love for each other. Traditions represent stability in an often very shaky world. Traditions are frequently the security blanket we need to get through tough situations. Those statements may sound like platitudes, or pie-in-the-sky ideals, but they are the truth in our family as we share and grow together.
What do pinwheel steaks and ice cream cakes have in common? In our family, food is always a part of our traditional times together. The birthday person always gets to pick a favorite meal, and no one else will complain because that is the way it is. Sometimes it is comforting not to have to give a reason for everything a teenager questions! We celebrate birthdays with favorite foods be it a carrot cake or apple pie for dessert because that is just the way it is! Growing boys with a craving for meat usually order pinwheel steaks with mashed potatoes. Grandpa always wants an ice cream cake to celebrate while Grandma wants a strawberry rhubarb pie for dessert. Requests are honored without question or debate so that these times together are filled with love.
When someone in the family is having a shaky time in school or at work, everyone gathers to sit around the fireplace and talk. A homemade chocolate milkshake and a bowl of buttered popcorn add the additional familiarity that can bring comfort to a troubled day and make the problem easier to solve. Sometimes just watching the flames flicker with family surrounding each other can calm a moment and bring solutions to issues. The tradition of gathering together is the beginning of the answer to the problem.
Christmas Eve at our house is now filled with growing grandchildren and wonderful in-laws, but the traditions have only grown as new family members are added. For over forty years, Christmas Eve means going to church as a family. There is great comfort in the routine and in having this security blanket to cover us and draw us even closer together. Since we don’t have to worry about how we are going to celebrate, we can just relax and enjoy the evening.
Traveling to new vacation spots and sampling different foods are also a part of the tradition our family enjoys. We love the comfortable long-standing traditions, but as new friends and family enter our circle of life, we delight in trying new adventures and ways of sharing. Some of these ideas we know will even become long-standing traditions. Because traditions are built with love over time, they will continue to bring happiness and make our family bonds even stronger.
