Last week we published an article that discussed why and how to establish family traditions. Traditions offer numerous benefits: they strengthen your family’s bonds, enrich the life you share together, contribute to your children’s well-being, and create lasting memories. For this reason, they form one of the three pillars of family culture.
Today we offer a list of over 60 specific family tradition ideas. You can incorporate some of these directly into your family, or use them as inspiration for creating your own traditions.
Before we get started, let’s cover a few things that will help ensure that your establishment of new traditions will be met with success:
While it’s tempting to go crazy with starting lots of traditions, shoot for quality over quantity. If you do a couple from within each category, you’re gold.
Choose traditions that most resonate with you. Having said that, as you review the list, try not to immediately write off some as silly or not elaborate enough. This isn’t only about what appeals to you as a jaded adult, but what will appeal to your kids. If you think back to your childhood, some surprisingly silly and simple stuff was a lot of fun and created great memories.
Traditions need to be practiced regularly to be effective. It’s easy to throw a tradition out the window when life gets busy and you’ve had a long day. Commit to the tradition and do your best to be as consistent as possible with it.
The ideas below come from The Book of New Family Traditions, from mine and Kate’s respective families, from our friends’ families, and from those we’ve come up with for our own family.
In my opinion, customs and traditions are very important for the Vietnamese life. Like other families, my family has our own customs and traditions. Firstly, there’s a custom in our family of children standing in a row to greet guests. It expresses respect to the guest from the host. Secondly we have the tradition of having lunch together on the second day of Tet. Everyone has to be there before 7 p.m to have the dinner and talk about the Tet holiday. Thirdly, It is the custom for my family to spend Sunday together. We usually go to supermarket or go for a picnic. Sometimes, my family celebrates grilled party. We all enjoy this customs and traditions because they provide our family with sense of belonging.Moreover, it makes us closer as a family and help make life better.
