Is it me or does it seem men really tend to like tradition as much or more than women? My sister's two boy grandchildren are really into tradition and they look so forward to going to her home for a vacation and they want to do the same things every time. She then sends the pics of their time spent in IN to Walgreens and by the time they leave...they have a photo book to look at at the air port....
Thanksgiving.another families tradition..... ALL the men and boys go to Churchill Downs (sister's family included) and then all meet for a later dinner. These boys(some) are now men and they come from TN to do the tradition.

My husband doesn’t like change. For example I have to make the same stuffing that I have been making for 27 years every Thanksgiving. I would like to try something new, but he won’t hear of it. And then when I make something a little bit different he will remind me that it wasn’t the same as last time. Perhaps there’s comfort in routine.

Maybe it is comfort or ease. My feeling is if it ain't broke, why fix it. In most cases, if I like something, I like it. Why change & then be disappointed, thinking I should have stuck to what I like.

Especially with holiday foods. Generally we only have turkey once or twice a year. Why take a chance on something, and if I don't like it (or not as good as the traditional), have to wait for a year to get the kind I like.
