Traditions can be comforting—a sentimental way to reconnect with family and friends. They ground us, evoke nostalgia, and sometimes even perplex us.
Most people we know have some tradition tied to the holiday season...It's a cozy, heartfelt tradition that has endured for decades.
We love the annual eating of peaches and the gatherings of family and friends. Yet, we also have reservations about traditions in general-because traditions are social constructs.
Without the social agreement that 'this is what we all do,' traditions can seem downright odd. For example, without the cultural backdrop of Halloween, trick-or-treating would look like children in costumes making bizarre demands for candy.
