Intentionally or not, people are creatures of habit. And often these habits are most apparent around holiday rituals.

Maybe they involve special food or prayers.

Sometimes people attend the same event year after year, maybe wearing particular clothes or colors.

Sometimes rituals mark events personal to the people involved.

Your assignment: Write the same ritual from the POVs of at least three participants. E.g., child, parent, grandparent; three siblings; husband, wife, guest; yourself as child, teen, adult.

Have fun with this. And enjoy your next ritual! I’m enjoying my Santa collection enormously.
