Many holidays center around traditions. Describe one tradition that is important to you or your family and explain why it still matters (or why it no longer does).

 One tradition that my family has is cutting down our own christmas tree. Every year after thanksgiving, we always go to a christmas tree farm and look through the trees and find one we want to cut down. we ususally end up getting way to big of a tree and having to cut part of the top off so it wont hit the roof. Now since I have a truck its much easier to get a tree. i can just put it in the bed instead of having to tie it to the top of a car. The christmas tree farm that my family has gone to since i was born shut down this year, so we hadf to find a new one so we can continue the tradition.
