The presents have been opened. The hours of wrapping torn through like a Texas twister leveling a trailer park. The gifts have been tried on, put together, set on shelves and left lying around after hours of play time. The Turkey and Ham have been cooked and consumed. Football has been watched.

Last night I tortured my husband during our movie night on account of the fact that we had unknowingly chosen a movie that was right up the marriage defense ally. So the movie went something like this: pause, scribble scribble, play...pause, scribble scribble, play. I took notes religiously (pun intended). First Knight is the Hollywood version of the King Arthur, Guinevere, and Lancelot story.

I think it's beneficial. Sure there are "good" and "bad" tradition but it's all relative. Sure it's not good to be too uptight about it, but to be too loose and not have any tradition is not good at all.Tradition
