How are traditions changed?

2.  We've always wondered
how spent holidays our
parents, because biggest
part of ours family
traditions came out from
the holidays. After we had
asked about it, we found
out that 50 years ago our
parents didn't celebrate
Easter or Christmas, but
always walked on the
streets with balloons at 9th
of May or 7th of November.

3.  Also, it turned out that
only in nowadays it's
popular to celebrate
birthdays at bowling,
cinemas or restaurants. In
those days, they couldn't
even think about it. People
spent holidays at home,
inviting relatives and
friends.

4.  "But what you can do at home?"
- may ask any teenager. The
answer is simple - stories and
tales! In those days, funny
stories and interesting tales were
the most popular form of
entertainment. And don't forget
about cards! On every holiday
you could take part in exciting
card game! Card games aroused
the competitive spirit, which
created a wonderful friendly
atmosphere.

5.  And what about food?
Homemade
salads, potatoes, freshl
y baked bread, sweets
and cakes - it is
something which
always was on the
holiday table.

6.  After comparing all of this with our current life, we
understood that life was much more easier before:
holidays were celebrated at home, not in public places,
people were preparing food by themselves, not
ordered it from the restaurant, and entertainment was
more simple - just a usual card game.
