Traditions are a special way of celebrating. Just last night, we continued a family tradition that we started two years ago. Baseball has been known to be a great American pastime, and there's no better time than Independence Day to feel that pride. God Bless the USA boomed over the PA system as those in uniform carried in the giant U.S. flag. My eyes filled with tears when over 150 new Air Force recruits filed into the ballpark in Arlington. My family watched those brave men and women take an oath to protect our country so that we can remain living in freedom. We are truly blessed by these individuals. The National Anthem was followed by a fly-over from six War Birds and the sell-out crowd of 46,000 roared! We stuffed our faces from the all-you-can-eat seats and cheered on our Texas Rangers! Our family shared lots of high-fives, laughter, and "ooos and ahhhs" during the incredible display of fireworks. This is a tradition I cherish.
Think about some of your own special traditions. How can you work them into one of your fiction or nonfiction stories? They can make special connections with your readers and help them get to know the bonds your characters share. There is a need for readers to experience diversity in their reading. Traditions are a great way to do it!
I would love to hear about some of your traditions, too! Leave me a comment.
