Traditions

I’m not at all religious But when holidays roll ‘round, I follow the traditions To which I have long been bound. I cook and bake the recipes Passed down from year to year And use my nicest dishes To improve the atmosphere. I even wear a skirt, although My husband wouldn’t care If I plopped down at the table In a tee and underwear. The rituals and customs That I learned of long ago Don’t reflect beliefs, but rather A connection to bestow.
