Family Traditions
Where are your family traditions? The following information comes from several readers：
JARED:We take turns picking a movie to watch together. It's fun because I watch something my parents like, and they watch something I like. My mother likes old black and white movies, so I see a lot of them! We also make pizza and eat it in front of the TV.
WINNIE: My favorite meal is spaghetti and meatballs. My mom usually cooks, but my dad and sister help. On my sister's birthday, we eat pizza. On my mom's birthday, we have chicken, and on my dad's birthday we have steak. Of course, we always have a birthday cake, too. What are your family tradition?

DANNI:My family is really busy. We have a large family, and it's not easy for everyone to get together at the same time. On that day, we go to a nice restaurant and we talk and talk and talk.
SUZIE:After dinner, we go to the living room and play a board game, such as Scrabble or Monopoly. We have about seven different ones we play, but we only play one game a night. I plan to keep this tradition after I start my own family.
