Fatherly
 
Nov 24, 2022
 
A “new tradition” seems like a misnomer. A tradition is, after all, a tradition — something that’s been done by grandpa’s grandpa and will be forever more followed, right? Not exactly. The past isn’t meant to be repeated so much as examined, appreciated, and molded into the present. This is an opportunity for parents. You can create something new out of the old, the best version of your family’s long line of values that will continue to last for generations and help your children feel connected to a broader family narrative. Whether it’s a toast, a hike, or a meal, here’s how to put your own stamp on the holidays.
