I am sitting and thinking very hard about this question, my inner stream of consciousness is rambling with questions..  “Christmas, nope none of those, we did Thanksgiving one time, birthdays were always BIG BOAT WEEKENDS due to it falling on Labor Day. Do I have any traditions learned?”

No, I have learned about traditional family, the ones you share DNA with. Sometimes their traditions aren’t good examples of what a tradition should be. Sometimes, the only tie that binds should be left at the aforementioned DNA.

I have chosen to break the family DNA tradition.

I choose to love my son, and family that I share no DNA with. Every year we make more traditions in our non-traditional family..
