Dear Dr. Laura:

I love the idea of establishing unique family traditions.  In OUR family, we're big on celebrating "half-birthdays."

We don't give gifts for a half birthday, but the special person gets to pick what the family eats for dinner, we create a celebratory dessert, and he or she chooses a family activity for us to do together.  In the past, my daughter has loved to have us all light sparklers that we've saved from Independence Day celebrations.  We've also taken a night drive with the top down (singing at the top of our lungs), and we've put a Lego set together (the choice of our son).  

We love our UNtraditional family traditions!

Jackie
