Festivities

I love traditions. My Future Kids are going to have lots of them. Maybe instead of a religion they can have lots and lots of traditions instead. We are celebrating pi day every single year. I think a minor holiday every two or three weeks sounds good. We don't have to do much, maybe just go out to eat or do something silly as a family. Something different for each holiday, though, of course. Pi day will consist of the making and eating of a pie coupled with fun math! Oh, and Tau day, will, of course, mean two pies. Maybe all the holidays could be math holidays! Tautology day 1/1! Or 11/11 since 1/1 is already taken up. Identity Day 10/10! It will be so great. If I get them when they're young, it will all seem totally natural. "Oh my goodness," My Future Kids will say, "you've never celebrated Tau Day? What was wrong with your childhood?!"
Presidents' Day will of course require dressing up.
I should think of more non-day-specific traditions, too. Eating-related traditions are pretty easy. We be eating lefse all winter. What are other things people do as traditions? I just tried looking up weird traditions, but they were all about the ways people die in different cultures for various reasons. LAME. Oh! I got one! Traditions that involve trying something new for a week or a month! That would be great! Coincidentally, that's the only reason this post and/or the majority of the blog exists! Also traditions that are about trying something bizarre just once. That would be good too. Oh man, My Future Kids are going to be so awesome and well-rounded and accepting of other people and trying new things and it's all going to be thanks to me. This blog will be proof. Spouse better not have a similar blog, because I plan on taking all the credit. Except for the excellent genes, Spouse can take half the credit for that. But I still get credit for selecting Spouse for their superior genetic material. Of course, if they turn out badly, I still get stuck with the credit.
