Tradition!

Traditions are important. Just ask Tevye.





In our house growing up, we had a special tradition that I still think of with fondness. Every Sunday night, when The Wonderful World of Disney was on, and some Disney movie was being broadcast, mom would pop popcorn and we would sit and watch the wonderful world of Disney together. Even after college when I was at home I would crave popcorn every Sunday evening, even though the days of Wonderful World of Disney have sadly fallen by the wayside to make way for news shows, crime dramas, and sappy reality shows capitalizing off of people's misfortunes. Not that I'm referring to anything specific.

We didn't have our popcorn in just any old popcorn bowl. It was popped in our popcorn bucket, beautiful and orange, painted by the hand of my paternal grandmother. Those were the days.

When you are a single person living on your own, it's easy to lose the feeling of traditions in your life. I need to start some new traditions. Any ideas?
