BrownleeA resident of Buena ParkTraditions are customs passed down from one generation to another and customs are accepted practices of a community of people or of a family doing things in a usual manner.Such customs include putting up a Christmas tree and decorations on Christmas Eve (or an early cold Christmas morning), and placing the gifts that dear old Santa left on and around the tree, and placing the huge green wreath with holly and huge red ribbon on the front door.Now comes the fun and confusion of trying to remember where we are going to have Christmas dinner. Where did we go last Christmas? Was it grandma’s or aunt Margaret’s? The aroma of the turkey baking is coming from the kitchen. The mincemeat and apple pies were baked last week. Christmas music is blasting from the TV. Now it is time to decide what to wear to midnight mass to visit the crib of the baby Jesus, his mother, Mary and father, Joseph, to wish them a happy birthday and ask them to give us peace on earth.Such is tradition, but how times have changed.88-year-old Isabella Brownlee says things aren’t like they used to be.
