Traditions are just like the pillars of our
society and homes. However, lesser and lesser families are now practicing
traditions. This could be because they have not felt the joy of practicing such
traditions, or because senior members of the family have passed away and no one
is interested in carrying on these traditions. Christmas for example, is a time
where families get together to bond and to catch up with each other. They build
the foundations of a family and help greatly in the tough transitions in life.
In my opinion, I feel that it is important we
preserve and continue celebrating our traditions as they remind us of our roots
and the many stories that have been passed down by our ancestors. Traditions
bring a family together and encourage bonding in a family. The practice of having
a meal with our family on Chinese New Year Eve creates a strong sense of
belonging to the family as everyone is enjoying themselves in the festive
spirit. Furthermore, it is important we know who we are and where we come from
and the best way to do so is by celebrating our traditions and passing them on
to the next generation.
