I really enjoyed this article/post/issue. I'm imagining most of this was the result of you just mulling things over. But by chance was there anything you have read that may have influenced your thoughts on tradition? Would there be any articles or books that you might be able to share?

I started to type out some of my fun annual traditions. The list got really long so I made a page on my site for the list. https://www.spudart.org/fun-traditions/

Here's the summary:

• The Christmas stick

• On your birthday walk around your residence the number of years old you are

• Take a photo of your first footprint in the snow

• Christmas tree throwing challenge

• On summer solstice pull an all-nighter outside

• Summer tradition: carve a watermelon

• Christmas ninjas

• Taste of Chicago turkey leg

• Spring and fall Chicago bridges raising for sailboats

• Photographing the budding tulips

• Keeping a scorecard at MLB games
