hi muffy,
sorry i'm late on response. seems like others had very good comments.
i didn't really have traditions in our family growing up...we celebrated xmas and all, but sometimes on eve, sometimes with extended family...etc. but that was pretty much it.
and i agree with slugdoo, this is something that i want for my children. but it can be anything like something around the beginning of school for kids (maybe shopping day) something you maybe have to do anyway...but just make it "special". or second saturday in month just you and kid kinda thing....it can be anything...just make it yours.
but you say you're worried about not 'keeping with it'. i certainly understand that. but you could start with making it just a special "day", or "dinner" or some such. then if you can, do it again....and if you can...again.
one special day at a time. many special days=tradition.
but kids will cherish any special days they can get. i guarantee.best wishes ((((muffly))))
