Family Traditions
What are your family traditions? The following information comes from several readers:
JARED: We take turns picking a movie to watch together. It's fun because I watch something my parents like, and they watch something I like. My mother likes old black and white movies, so I see a lot of them! We also make pizza and eat it in front of the TV.
WINNIE: My favorite meal is spaghetti and meatballs. My mom usually cooks, and my dad and sister help. On my sister s birthday, we eat pizza. On my mom's birthday, we have chicken, and on my dad's birthday we have steak. Of course, we always have a birthday cake, too.
SUZIE: After dinner, we go to the living room and play a board game, such as Scrabble or Monopoly. We have about seven different ones to play, but we only play one game a night. I plan to keep this tradition after I start my own family.
BOB: I get up early and make something special, such as a mushroom omelet. Then I put it on a tray with a newspaper and a flower, and bring it to my mother for breakfast in bed. She always acts surprised, but I do it every year.
