Welcome to World views. Earlier in the day, we spoke to four different people about family traditions. Here’s what they said.
①Christmas presents
One of our traditions is to do with Christmas presents. Most people open their presents in the moming, but we open ours after Christmas lunch. It’s really nice to do so, because opening the presents in the morning makes the rest of the day boring. Well, that’s what we think.
②Birthday cakes
One tradition we have is to do with birthdays. All our birthday cakes have to be carrot cakes. My dad has to make the cakes. He even has to make the cake for his own birthday! It’s because my mum doesn’t like other tastes. And the funny thing is, we never have carrot cakes at any other time—only birthdays.
③Easter eggs
When we were kids, my parents used to buy little chocolate eggs and hide them around the house. Then when they finished we were allowed to come into the house to look for them. I think the tradition started because my mum and dad wanted us to eat less chocolate-And this was a fun way of stopping us eating too much as the eggs were often too small.
④Special day
We had a tradition in our family for the last day of the summer holidays. The day before we had to go back to school, mum and dad always take us out for the day. In the morning, we’d get up early and go for a long walk. Next, we’d go for lunch in
our favorite restaurant. Then, to the cinema to see a film. Finally, home, where we’d play games. It made going back to school so much better.
