Can a tradition be canceled?

Answer: yes.

When Angela first came to the USA, the first place we ate when we got off the plane was Chili’s. So every year, we have gone to Chili’s on the 30th of June. Instead of plates, our meal was served on metal trays lined with a paper towel, which shredded into a nasty mess under out food.

I have a hard time canceling tradition, but it had to be done. But, we just picked a new restaurant to celebrate her arrival to the US, and life goes on 🙂
