Christmas traditions
A new poll found that 31 percent of adults are bored with their usual Christmas traditions. Instead of sending Christmas cards, exchanging gifts, or decorating a Christmas tree, these individuals would rather spend Christmas Day in their pajamas, go on a quiet, personal retreat, or order take-out instead of preparing a traditional turkey dinner.While none of these ideas sound particularly appealing to me, I understand that times are changing.
Christmas traditions evolve over time and that’s just the reality of the situation. For example, nobody I know today attends church 12 days in a row like the Puritans did centuries ago in Great Britain, nor do I know of anyone who celebrates Christmas Day by shooting their guns into the air like Lewis and Clark did on Christmas Day during their voyage to the Pacific Ocean, nor do I know of anyone who actually eats figgy pudding. Instead, these Christmas traditions have all fallen by the wayside and have been replaced by new traditions.
