I hope you’re having a great day/night or wherever you live.
So I was wondering, if any of you have any family/friends/sibling traditions?
Like for me…
I’m not really sure about holiday traditions, but I can think of two traditions that I have.
Every Saturday me and my family have a movie night, like we eat snacks or something that we baked that day, and all together we are watching a movie that recently was released.
Me and my brother have a tradition that whenever we have something to celebrate about, like a birthday or spring break or literally anything, we have a video night (more like a day) with snacks. (we often watch YouTube on those days)
Every 4th of July my family goes to the nearest gas station and grabs snacks with blankets and watch the fireworks for about an hour, since thats how long they last.
Only hot days, my family go swimming in our backyard pool and play music with pizza and drinks, while playing those weird pool games.
Normally Friday nights is when my family has “movie” nights with a new rented movies with movie snacks.
We just started this one: Now, every Thanksgiving we make our own dishes and say what we’re thankful for around the table (Almost all families who celebrate this do this, but we never did this before and now we do)
And finally, before the pandemic I used to do this gift exchange with my best friend where at the end of the school year we would buy each other gifts as a goodbye to each other and to show our appreciation. Unfortunately, we both moved to different schools and we can’t do that anymore…She lives down the street but, you know…
We have rahkhri day in August which is basically when you tie a rahkhri around your brother’s wrist and he gives you a gift.
Growing up our mom would buy the rahkhri (spelling varies) and my sister and I would tie it on our brother and my mom would hand him a gift and he’d give it to us basically all mom gifts could be money, etc. My mom doesn’t have her brother anymore so she reminds my siblings and I to treasure this day
Thank you, it is people extend it to male relatives as well. Gifts can also involve sweets. Pretty much anything. Sometimes my bro would complain it’s itchy or the bell is annoying him (depends on the rakhri you purchase) and my mom would say “keep it on”
My family has a little tradition.
My dad works abroad and only gets to spend the holidays with us. Once, back in 2016, when he came back from Japan, he took us to a seafood restaurant. It was really nice place and the foods was AMAZING. The next year he had come for the holidays and my brother said that we could go to that restaurant again. And like that, a new tradition was born! Everytime he comes home, we go and have dinner at that seafood restaurant!
