What is the importance of family Traditions?
(23:19) Sandra - Tradition of pinatas and the origin. It comes from the Augustine’s of Mexico. Symbol represents seven deadly sins.
Christi - The Jesse Tree. Having the little ones decorate the ornaments.
(28:15) Pat - A couple traditions....the Rosary. Been doing it since 2008. Also, my wife and I have been saying good morning to God before starting the day. Try to put goodness to counteract the world and what's going on.
George - Incorporating tradition in the family. How do I know if it's something I like to do or share with my family? Example the Liturgy of the Hours.

(39:16) Break 2
Angel - My mother after Thanksgiving...everything stopped and there was no partying until Christmas. Everything was cleaned during that time and then brought the tree in Christmas Eve. Acted like a new baby was coming into the house. We don't celebrate until late Christmas Eve.
What are times when traditions need to be curtailed?
