The Book Of New Family Traditions (Revised And Updated): How To Create Great Rituals For Holidays And Every Day (2012) - Plot & Excerpts

Three stars because I got some good ideas from this book, and I borrowed it from my library so it didn't cost me anything. I would have been very disappointed with it had I spent money on it. This book is mostly comprised of very brief examples of rituals used by real-life families, which makes it feel more like a very long blog post or magazine article than an actual book. Or, for that matter, a manuscript-version of someone's "Family Rituals" Pinterest board. The rituals tend to be extremely cheesy, even to a sap like me, but I did take away notes on a few that I plan to tailor for my own family, so I would say it was worth the very quick read. A note for those who don't teach English for a living and are therefore less tolerant of rampant abuse of the language: I read this as a kindle e-book and it was filled with errors--"manager" for manger, spelling errors, a lot of Ks in place of Hs, etc. Still completely understandable, but if this sort of thing hurts your eyes, perhaps try a hard copy. This one particular error made me giggle, though: "I bet lots of bat mitzvah boys would say the same thing." Lots of good ideas about traditions for regular routines, holiday, coming of age, etc. Some of them I'll need to come back to when my kids are older, but for now I got a lot of good ideas about birthdays and holidays, and just thinking about the importance of forming daily/weekly rituals. It gave me a lot of items for my to do list so I can be ready for Jonah's 4th birthday and start some new traditions!
