Week 19--Tradition

Every culture, every community, every family has customs that bind them together. Some celebrate holidays, others the seasons. There are secular celebrations and others to honor a concept of a Higher Being, however that is described in ones life. There are those that mark life's milestones--from birth to death including the first day of school or passing a driver'license examination.

Freebird chose to expand on her family's tradition of serving in the United States military:

Eggnog
YUM!

The topic of the biweekly art challenge this time around is "Tradition." And we just couldn't stop ourselves from singing the song from "Fiddler on the Roof."
TRADITION!

This time of year sports a calendar packed full of holidays. We all have our religious, spiritual and secular events that we love to celebrate and each is grounded in the way we celebrate it. There are the colors of the seasons, the prayers and pageants, the cards and candles...
