2. a) In the Live Journal Familyguy has asked other bloggers to share their family traditions. Read the replies below. Do the bloggers sound happy to share their traditions? Why?

ZebraZoya: My mum would always grease our nose with butter on our birthday morning, so we could slide into the next year. (Does anyone else have this crazy tradition? I think it's Irish. We kids didn't enjoy it much.)

Ivan: When someone in your family gets a new job, a promotion, or a raise, create a tradition that they take you out for dinner. It doesn't have to be a fancy or expensive dinner – you can go for pizza or wraps. We've been doing it for years!

Tabitha: What a great post! My husband and I try to regularly visit areas in the city (Washington, DC) where we live. Even though we're residents, we go check out some new spot at least once a week. It's fun to act as a tourist and discover something new. We definitely plan on continuing this tradition as our family gets bigger, no matter where we live!

RoaldfromBoston: We have a couple of traditions that we do. Having a get-together and reading books. Every Thursday night is family reading night. Friday night is pizza and a movie. We also get together once a month at one of our extended family's homes for family dinner. Everyone in the family gets a turn at their home.

Tinylittle: We have a fun tradition in our family. When someone has a birthday or special occasion, they get a special red plate. A little weird, but everyone loves that red plate!

Benjamin: We have not done it in a while, but my family likes to have music appreciation nights. Each person gets to pick one song from a playlist that they like to play for the whole family to listen to. We would then talk about what we like about it and it usually ends up in everyone dancing. I plan carrying on this tradition with my own kids once they are old enough.

Grandson: I love all the ideas on this page. One thing that my family does every Christmas is a home-made Christmas Movie. We try to take all the good and bad memories of the year and re-enact them in a funny light-hearted way. Everyone in the family is involved from Grandma and Grandpa to the youngest member. We watch the movie right before we open our gifts. It's the best way to start the night out.

Jai Joshi: Many of my family traditions are faith based but we have some great ones. One is that we have a day in summer called Raksha Bandan, that is just for siblings. Sisters tie protection bands around their brother's wrist and feed him sweets, vowing to care for and protect them and he gives them presents, vowing always. It renews the ties between them and ensures that even when they are far away, they think of each other.

Smonespecial: My family does a big family vacation for a week every two years. This started with my grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins. Now many of my cousins are married and have kids, so our vacation continues to get bigger and bigger. A lot of people are shocked that our vacation is for an entire week, but it works well. Gives us time to reconnect... and reminds us why we don't live closer together. =)
