Traditions+KT

Traditions are customs or beliefs passed down from generation to generation. I think traditions are a capacious part of our society. I think that some

traditions are splendid but others are just erroneous. In my opinion, some of the good traditions are pretty fun and I enjoy them a lot. For example some fun

traditions are putting up a Christmas tree on Christmas, setting off fireworks on the Fourth of July, putting your tooth under the pillow for the Tooth Fairy,

and various more reasons like the examples. Others I kind of do not like for example, girls get dolls and makeup and boys get cars and airplanes. I think

that it doesn't matter if you are a boy or a girl, you can play or use whatever you want.

One example of a pretty cool tradition is the ball dropping on New Years Eve. Every year on New Years Eve at midnight the ball in Time Square drops to

show that we are in a new year. This year the ball dropped for leaving the 2013 year and entering the new 2014. It is an enormous tradition because most

people in America watch the ball drop on New Years Eve. If you go and ask someone about the ball dropping on New Years Eve they will easily recognize

it because of how popular the tradition is.

Another example of a common tradition is uniforms at work or school. If you work at McDonalds or Walmart you will see the employees wearing uniforms.

If you also go to a private school the students wear uniforms because its one of the rules of the school. The employees of McDonalds are required to wear

black pants and a red polo with the logo on it. Some may also wear a black hat with the logo on it. Walmart employees wear pants and a blue polo shirt

with a name tag attached to it. Some schools uniforms are a polo with pants for boys and girls, shirt for girls, and shorts for boys and girls but mostly worn

by boys. Some schools may allow students to wear a white undershirt to wear under there uniform. There may also be a specific types of socks and shoes

you must wear and, there also maybe a specific type of winter clothing you can wear to school.

In conclusion there are many traditions around the world and some are very common. Some are awesome but others may not be appreciated by others. It

seems like there are more "happy traditions" than horrible ones. I enjoy many traditions and I am sure that many others do.
