Old holiday customs are an important connection to our present and past culture, so we should not forget them. A culture is built upon a lot of values, beliefs, and practices. The customs, especially those shown in holidays and celebrations, are often the easiest parts to see in a culture. They form parts of our identities and help to distinguish one community from another. Therefore, practicing these customs is an easy way to let others know who we are. Moreover, the old customs also provide a connection between different generations. In today’s busy world, members of a family may only gather during a holiday or a celebration. Then, during the preparation and practice of the old customs, we may see the older members explaining to the younger ones the meaning of the customs and the steps involved. In so doing, they not only pass on the traditional knowledge and beliefs within the customs but also strengthen the connections between the old and the young. That is why it is important to remember and practice old customs.
