Does your family have a good time when they are together? Would you like your family gatherings to be more fun with everyone participating? Do you want your family to enjoy traditional celebrations, but also create new traditions?

Carol “Bicky” Bickford Bush—wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, community mover and shaker—tells you how! Carol took her energy and great sense of fun and applied it creatively in raising four children with her husband, Bob, and then “endowed” the next generations with the same love of tradition.

The book includes:

• How to create family traditions
• Ideas for celebrating every holiday and holy day
• Party invitations
• Party and special family menus and recipes
• Games for all ages and every occasion
• How to get children to eat vegetables!

Excerpt:

“My name is Carol Bickford Bush and I strongly believe that part of the fun of family is tradition. Whatever your background, you have inherited cultural, religious or ethnic traditions. You can share them with your children and then start your own new family traditions. Even if your children are grown, with families of their own, it’s never too late!

“…(traditions) strengthen the family. They help kids to know what their parents value and why. They give kids a basis for looking at the world and feeling positive through shared experiences. In our family, over the years, traditions have become important events—grand and special. They cement family relationships in a wonderful, positive way.”
