I really don't miss the traditions, though as you can probably guess, I never really got attached to any of them :) So we make 'em as we go...Our Yule tradition..? Rotini! Preferably with friends, but we can eat a whole pan ourselves...usually. Halloween? Ours actually DOES include McDonald's - but not the movie. (The monster child is allergic to chocolate...)Ummm...Easter..? That's the day we stay home & hang out, and the boy gets a basket of goodies - usually movies, games or cool clothes (chocolate allergy again...) so yeah - I think make it up as you go is the best way :)<br />Although - I DO do the whole decorate-the-shit-outta-anything-that-doesn't-run thing for Xmas - I Love that part, and would start mid-Oct (if Hunny would let me...)<br />bb<br />dawtch <br />ps it only lets me list one address, and I have two0:( the second is at www.dawtch.wordpress.comdawtchhttp://www.awitchintime.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12171673.post-81061078545849744712009-04-22T17:47:00.000-04:002009-04-22T17:47:00.000-04:00Maybe most Christians aren't aware the Jesus inten...Maybe most Christians aren't aware the Jesus intentionally shook up traditions, to make people actually think rather than doing things mechanically (and maybe getting bored...)...anyways, that's what I heard. :P<br /><br />I like your ideas here, Anne. I'll keep it in mind if I start getting bored. And it's nice to know that white socks are allowed. :)Dancing With Feyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03493553137383118631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12171673.post-53421464125661773862009-04-22T16:00:00.000-04:002009-04-22T16:00:00.000-04:00I was definitely that kid with the bronze cross - ...I was definitely that kid with the bronze cross - acolyte, crucifer, youth choir, I even followed the minister (my grandfather) with the tray for the empty communion cups.<br /><br />Thing is, I liked it... I do crave the regularity of religious ritual. I just have severe disagreements with the theology.
