Just Say No to Abuse Declaring War on Terrorism. Another year gone. But I do want to point out that it can be fun with the whole family spending some fun times together. As a child my parents passed on some great traditions and I fondly remember New Years and all the fun we had as a young family.
Traditions are a big part of childhood.
Read my last Christmas article about traditions, then think of Tevye singing his wonderful, heartfelt rendition of Tradition . Seasons come and go and the season I see now is with young and impressionable children at my side. I want them to understand that New Year's Eve is not just a party night, but something much more . Of course, half of them I can t remember now in my old age, but I do remember the image of sitting around that tablecloth on the floor and singing Auld Lang Syne , as best we knew it or mumbling the words at least. It s also very good for younger children to understand what different cultures do during different holidays .
