Tradition is defined as something that is inherited; pattern of belief/ thought or behavior. Things that are carefully chosen.

Family Therapy sessions normally increase during the Holiday months and then it decreases until mid-Feb, we should be borrowing Family Traditions and adding their aspects of family traditions into our own families.

There are many family traditions that are very important and they are not passed on because the future generations do not see the significance in specific traditions. Not passing on the faults of negative traditions and things that happened in your life and family is something that is very important. Even though you might be breaking a family tradition, it is good because it is something that could be something that could negatively affect your family and their future families.
