Many holidays center around traditions. Describe one tradition that is important to you or your family and explain why it still matters (or why it no longer does).

Prompt response: One tradition that we do is to commemorate those who came before us. Last year on Thanksgiving, what we did was play a voicemail that my uncle, who had passed away the year prior, left on thanksgiving and listening to the voicemail was one of the saddest but also one of the happiest things that I have heard, as I got to hear my uncle's voice one more time, ever since the day he passed. This tradition we do is so very important to us as it shows how we should always appreciate our loved ones all the time.

Summary: Today, we completed the film and novel comparison of the movie The Color Purple.

Reflection: I like to reflect on what we as a family do together, as it is always important to love your family and communicate with them often. I know that i havent spoken to many of them as the years go by, but hopefully this Christmas that will change for the better.
