What special tradition from your childhood have you recreated with your own children?

I don’t have any kids of my own…..that I know of. But, a few things that I have asked my sister to share with her kids – my two nephews and niece – is mainly things that my sis and I enjoyed as kids. Like the cartoons that we watched and loved as kids. Tom & Jerry, Bugs Bunny, Droopy etc – those and more were the awesome cartoons of our childhood and which we still stop to watch when we see some on tv. I’ve even searched for them on Youtube so I could watch them and laugh for a few minutes.

I would have wanted to share my love for other things but I don’t see them all the time or spend too much time with them. Like music – hard rock & heavy metal -, horror movies, science fiction but I just haven’t been able to. One exception is my sister had once asked me to get her the episodes for the 90s scifi show V, which was a big favourite of ours when we were kids. My sister and I love the show and she wanted to show her kids the episodes. It was a big hit.

Other than that I don’t think I have managed to share any traditions. Once in a while we do gather at my home and order dinner just like what we used to when sis and I were kids. And especially when we order either fried chicken like KFC or shawarma, it reminds me of my childhood. I do like that.
