Almost everyone in the house will have a traditional custom. My house also has and I think everyone's customs will be similar to mine, that is, every 30 New Year's Eve my house is cleaned. Old things will be bought new to replace. And most especially, this traditional package of banh chung, banh tet, everyone must have. As soon as the cake is wrapped, we will sit together, we even stay up until night to steam the cake. Because of wrapping the cake, we sat together again and became closer. I really like this custom.

Hầu hết nhà ai cũng sẽ có một phong tục truyền thống. Nhà tôi cũng có và tôi nghĩ chắc phong tục của mọi người sẽ giống nhà tôi, đó chính là cứ gần 30 tết nhà tôi lại quét dọn sạch sẽ. Những đồ nào cũ thì sẽ mua cái mới để thay. Và đặc biệt nhất là gói bánh chưng, bánh tét truyền thống này thì nhà ai cũng phải có rồi. Cứ đến khi gói bánh chúng tôi sẽ ngồi cùng nhau, chúng tôi còn thức tới tối để hấp bánh nữa ấy chứ. Chính vì gói bánh nên chúng tôi lại ngồi cùng nhau và trở nên thân thiết hơn. Tôi thật sự thích phong tục này.

Last week we published an article that discussed why and how to establish family traditions. Traditions offer numerous benefits: they strengthen your family’s bonds, enrich the life you share together, contribute to your children’s well-being, and create lasting memories. For this reason, they form one of the three pillars of family culture.

Today we offer a list of over 60 specific family tradition ideas. You can incorporate some of these directly into your family, or use them as inspiration for creating your own traditions.

Before we get started, let’s cover a few things that will help ensure that your establishment of new traditions will be met with success:

While it’s tempting to go crazy with starting lots of traditions, shoot for quality over quantity. If you do a couple from within each category, you’re gold.
Choose traditions that most resonate with you. Having said that, as you review the list, try not to immediately write off some as silly or not elaborate enough. This isn’t only about what appeals to you as a jaded adult, but what will appeal to your kids. If you think back to your childhood, some surprisingly silly and simple stuff was a lot of fun and created great memories.
Traditions need to be practiced regularly to be effective. It’s easy to throw a tradition out the window when life gets busy and you’ve had a long day. Commit to the tradition and do your best to be as consistent as possible with it.
The ideas below come from The Book of New Family Traditions, from mine and Kate’s respective families, from our friends’ families, and from those we’ve come up with for our own family.
