Tradition

Tradition helps you mold your life into what you want it to be. Family tradition continues a long line of beauty that just our family alone has contributed to the planet and society. So, celebrate. Celebrate our traditions.

Learn about your German and Native American cultures!

Go to Pow-Wows. Treasure and value Mother Earth; be good to her and keep her clean. She will provide all you need as long as you care for her. Stand for things you believe in because they are just and right, not because they are easy.

Listen to Kinderchor at Christmastime. Pick your Christmas trees with your family. Save your ornaments and but or make a new one each year. Memories build quickly and it's nice to see the history of your traditions! You don't have to do this, but Oma would be pleased if you ate ham and potatoes on Christmas Eve and a roast on Christmas day. ;) Don't forget St Nikolaus and Heilige Drei Koenige which is also known as Dia de Los Reyes and the Epiphany. Find those chocolates!

Speak German! Walk often and observe nature. Learn how to make your own Bretzen and teach your children!

Remember when there are thunder and lightning outside that "Der Himmie Papa schimpft!"

Take out your Easter Baskets the night before so the bunny can fill them, and grow grass in a basket for some eggs!

Keep Sunday's as a Family day. We aren't the best at that but I think it's something really special if you make it all about one another.

I know this sounds crazy but change out the air in your house every day!  Open your windows and turn off your heat for 30 minutes a day. It keeps you healthier.

Take pictures and not the ones where everyone is posing. Spontaneous moments are the best ones!

Don't hesitate to make your own traditions with your families or even personal traditions of which only you yourself are aware. Those can be the best ones! Whatever you chose, be traditional! It is what leaves your footprints on the planet long after you're gone.



I love you, my babies! Mommy is so, so proud!!
