Tradition and Women
Through the last couple of years I've noticed a small but emerging aspect from guys and tradition. As I've grown older I notice that women have a strong hold on keeping traditions like Christmas alive. Guys on the other hand would likely stretch out the tradition to the point where it's a week long and you can choose any convenient day to celebrate it, or eventually leave it to simply disapear. I've been talking around a lot about this and for some reason a lot of us guys simply don't care for fanciful traditions. In my family and my friends families, it's always the mother who pushes to have a holiday with all the icing on the cake. As a personal example: for christmas last year, it was just my dad and myself were living together and we had not bought a tree. My dads gf came over on christmas eve and saw this, instantly went out and got one. In all honesty I really didn't care for a tree. Last couple of days, I've been talking to my friends parents and asked them about this concept. They seem to agree. While in the topic, my friends father also pointed out "getting a tree is a pain in the ass, I really would rather not have one". I've seen single women who (again) on christmas still buy a tree for themselves, even it's a small one. So far I've used christmas as my base tradition, it is one of the most elaborate ones.
Do I have a point to say Women push for a solid tradition while Guys would let them eventually slope away?
