First Friday the sun sets before dinner
Porch Light Night
Everyone goes out on the step with a blanket and stays until someone gets cold. No screens come outside.
The one rule: nobody goes back in first except the person who is actually cold.
In twenty years, what will they say your family always did?
Answer sixteen questions. Get a year of traditions built for your kids' ages, your calendar, and where you actually live.
Free. Takes ninety seconds. You'll see three of your traditions before you decide anything.
We eat at different times.
The weekends blur together.
Last December looked like the one before it.
And they're getting older while we figure it out.
It's not that you don't want traditions.
It's that "we should do more family stuff" isn't a plan. Pinterest gives you three hundred ideas and no way to choose. The one you pick works twice, then someone has a game on Thursday, and by March nobody remembers it existed.
Traditions don't die from lack of effort. They die from being generic, badly timed, and unowned.
The Founding Page
One sheet. Your family's name, the year, and signature lines for everyone in the house.
It gets framed.
Six to nine traditions
Chosen for your kids' ages, your free night, your climate, your budget.
Not a list of three hundred.
The thirty-day launch
Week two is where traditions die. We print what to do about it.
Nobody else does this.
Built for your family, not a family.
A family in Minneapolis with a six-year-old and an eleven-year-old does not get the same traditions as a family in Phoenix with a fifteen-year-old. We ask what you've already tried and failed at, and we never send it back to you.
Minneapolis · ages 6 and 11 · Thursday free
Every drive over an hour
The Road Song Rule
Whoever is riding shotgun owns the first three songs, and nobody is allowed to complain out loud until the fourth.
The one rule: the driver does not get a veto.
Phoenix · age 15 · weekends packed
And one tradition that exists nowhere else, because you invent it.
We leave a slot empty on purpose.
Families come to us at different moments.
Ninety seconds. Then you'll see three of them.
