Many of us participate (and embody) old habits and traditions just because…

• We have always done it that way.
• Our family did that, too.
• We don’t know another way to do it.
• It is nostalgic.
• We are reminded of our childhood.
• The time we have allows us the latitude to still do it now.

Sometimes, we just don’t want to give up on old habits and traditions because they feel right and they make us feel good at the same time. Things that we really need right now. Our tree – our Christmas tree – remains decorated and lit until the end of the evening. Hope there are little Christmas gifts still coming your way also as this holiday season finally comes to a close.
