lol A lovely example indeed! I may use this story in the near future, if that's okay by you?
It is absolutely true that we should not simply carry on rituals/traditions without knowing the whys that brought about those same rituals/traditions. They should be meaningful.
Merry Christmas to you and your family as well <3
Oh please do...it really does serve to illustrate the point...A dear friend told it to me,... she would be very pleased to hear the story was useful.
Thank you for your kind Christ-mas Wishes...I will pass them on....^__^
