In Episode 35 of our Buckets of Change podcast, Linda and I dive into the subject of traditions, especially around the holiday season. We focus on the dynamics of establishing and modifying holiday customs. As Thanksgiving approaches, I find myself reflecting on my personal experiences with family traditions and how they've evolved over time.

Throughout the episode, we emphasize the significance of fluidity in traditions, encouraging our audience to embrace changes that better align with their lifestyles and perspectives. There's immense joy and fulfillment in creating one's own traditions, adapted to personal beliefs and circumstances. Using our professional expertise, Linda and I offer insightful commentary on navigating changes, whether through personal growth or within the framework of family dynamics during festive occasions.

• Traditions should be adaptable and not leave individuals feeling trapped or obligated, as personal growth may lead to changes in what one finds enjoyable or fulfilling.

• Thanksgiving is often appreciated as a holiday that remains less commercialized, allowing for pure enjoyment of family togetherness and gratitude.

• The power to create and modify family and personal traditions provides individuals with autonomy and the ability to align celebrations with their personal values and circumstances.

• Engaging in traditions with friends can add a new dimension to holiday celebrations, offering a sense of family within one's social network.

• Accepting and appreciating generosity from others, whether through gifts or acts of kindness, can enhance relationships and personal appreciation of life's abundant offerings.
