Traditions

My out look on traditions is that their good for the most part. I think this is because it gets kids spirits up and

happy for the holidays for example: Christmas and Santa clause and Halloween with candy and costumes.

Honestly they are not very important to society itself because it doesn't benefit us besides money wise. I would

say traditions are good for the most part because its something that goes back probably centuries and to know

that we still carry it on is great. Other times its bad because some people might over do it on the Christmas

cookies or the candy canes.

Halloween is a tradition passed on from who knows how long. At Halloween everyone dresses up and goes trick

or treating. I think this tradition is bad because we go around in scary costumes and some say that its devil

worshiping. Also we go to random peoples houses eating candy all night and all the next day. Our society

wonders why Americans are so over weight because we have traditions where all we do is eat like Thanksgiving.

The Tooth Fairy is a mythological fairy that takes your tooth that you just lost that night and gave you money for

it. Honestly, I love this tradition because its harmless and kids get so excited waiting for the next morning. The

Tooth Fairy originated in early Europe but instead of having every baby tooth it was the sixth tooth you would get

a reward for it. The Tooth Fairy isn't necessarily important for a good use but its just one of those great

traditions that put a smile on children's faces.

In conclusion traditions are fairly good but, if your an adult and you believe in the children's traditions then you

need to fix that. I'm glad that traditions are still around and will most likely be around for another five centuries

because I want my children to experience the things that I did.
