Tradition: 2005

Tradition. It is important. There are many traditions in our lives--for everyday living, for holidays and festive times, for sacred moments, to help us relax. You name it. We have many traditions. Santa has his traditions also. He fancies himself a good singer. One time he practiced for many months because he wanted to play a part in Fiddler on the Roof, as Tevia.

He sang while we watched TV. He sang while we ate. He sang in the shower. He sang everywhere. About all that remains of Tevia in our life is that Santa has a hat in his wardrobe that he wears now and then. He loves it. You go, Tevia. You go!

I have my traditions also.
I love to study about other countries and learn about their traditions.
In our own family
we often take a country
and make it the theme
of our personal
Christmas celebration.
It has proved to be a lot of fun and
makes us feel closer
to all of mankind.
After all, we are one big family.
Merry Christmas, everyone.

Mrs. Claus
