		<description><![CDATA[alternatives to participating in traditional holidays and commercialism:

• Set limits and establish a sense of proportion. Holidays always evolve, and are a mix of traditions (Christian holidays for example are a mix with Roman traditions). Our kids write letters to Santa and know that they will get 1 gift from Santa only and a few from us.  (Luckily for the kids, their grandmothers do not always comply.)
• We get our Christmas tree on the weekend of our anniversary to share this special time with the kids.  We buy the tree that we think no one else will pick.  We choose the one that is crooked or homely so it has a home for the holiday.
• We do not give presents for Channuka.  We celebrate the Jewish traditions in a noncommercial way.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[traditions: tips / resources

    Search your soul, your heart, and your memory bank for what is cherished. What values, ideas, and moments are most important to you? Make a list. Build traditions around the top of that list.
    Traditions should be unique to you. Lather, rinse and repeat Step One.
    Involve your family. What traditions do they want to continue, tweak, add? ‘Cause they’re, um, on this train, too.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[2. Create opportunities to share stories/experiences from previous generations.

Share your favorite childhood tradition with your children. “Interview” an older relative with your child to hear his or her version of favorite traditions and celebrations.

Go to a local senior center and “befriend” a grandparent or develop a relationship with a local neighbor and hear about their traditions.

Create a family recipe book and encourage others from different generations to contribute. Have them share stories about why they want this recipe included in the book. Include a  picture. Then distribute as gifts from your family to the relatives.

		<description><![CDATA[Last year, I hosted a conversation on TRADITIONS. So what makes a tradition and how do we as parents choose what to pass on and to preserve? What have we inherited, adapted, valued or created that is meaningful or relevant to our family?

Our religion or birthplace may dictate some of the traditions we celebrate and pass on. But as we make our journey into adulthood we are often influenced by our community and life experiences. Sharing households with other individuals and raising children provides an opportunity for reflection, contemplation and decision about how we blend, preserve, change or create traditions.

To continue this conversation, I am sharing excerpts from the 2010 Traditions book. Enjoy these daily updates during the holidays of favorite traditions from our panel and readers while I take some time off. I hope you find these ideas as inspiring as I do.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[How do we raise our children to be thinkers and doers and to care about the world around them? I invited five community-minded parents and the community to share resources and ideas at AS220 on May 25, 2011.

Some of the ideas discussed; Tell stories and read to your children about people with different experiences and from different cultures, teach them to be socially responsible by being a role model—sometimes it is the simple everyday things we do such as where and what we shop and how we treat our neighbors that teaches our children to care about the world around them.

If you missed the conversation, join in now. Watch the video, pick a CMK field guide...]]></description>
