Honey for Dipping Challah and Apples

Traditions create the “we”-ness of families. There are traditions each family observes as Americans (we eat turkey on Thanksgiving, we watch fireworks on the Fourth of July), and there are practices followed as members of an ethnic group (as Ashkenazi Jews, we eat latkes on Hanukkah). But it is the unique traditions that each family invents for itself that make the family a “we” unlike any other.
