Traditions are great. They make life fun and brings back all the wonderful memories of my child hood as if it were yesterday.
Also, it makes me feel close and deeply connected to my family since we are so far away!
Create traditions and keep life fun! It is these special moments that we find such happiness and fulfillment in our lives!
