My wife comes from a family of musicians. Every Christmas Eve, several close friends would bring finger food to an in-law’s house. Then, the music began. Everyone brought their instruments and played or sang. Sadly, the tradition has passed away along with most of the participants. It was a unique and anticipated event that lasted for about twenty-five years. While not always convenient, everyone recognized the value of cherished traditions. Take the time to design and build your own traditions. It’s all part of “getting a life.”

“The opportunities of man are limited only by his imagination. But so few have imagination that there are 10,000 fiddlers to 1 composer.”  ~ Charles F. Kettering
