Why family traditions are important to me

1. The idea of family over self

2. Comforting to have something that's familiar

3. Touchpoints with relatives you have a hard time communicating with otherwise

4. The feeling that family members generations ago were doing the exact same thing

5. Teaching the traditions to the next generation

6. Sense of duty

7. Link to the time of year

8. A prompt to remember your family and history

9. Doing the tradition no matter what the weather is like

10. Feel more connected to family
