“Because of our traditions,” Tevye taught us, “everyone knows who he is and what God expects him to do.” But Tevye’s world was upending, and so is ours. Think back … in this holiday season when tradition is everywhere, what traditions did you grow up with? Which have you kept, and which have you discarded? What’s your favorite tradition, and which would you nominate for oblivion? Share your traditions forward.

It seems like The Simpsons and Toy Story have been around forever, but we grew up with our own cartoons. Think back … to Mickey and Bugs, Mighty Mouse and Tom Terrific, Rocky and Bullwinkle, Popeye and Road Runner, Huck and Yogi, Bambi and Dumbo, Cinderella and Sleeping Beauty. Which were your favorites? How did they affect you? What were your kids addicted to? Share your cartoon stories forward.

Thanksgiving: Family and friendship, gatherings and gratitude, food and football. Think back … how did you celebrate, and with whom? What was your best Thanksgiving—and what was the worst, or weirdest? What are you grateful for, and what are you not? What do you look forward to, and what would you change about it? Share your Thanksgiving memories forward.

Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness? A house in the suburbs, a picket fence, 2.4 kids, a dog, and two cars in the garage? Think back … what does the American Dream mean to you? Did you grow up believing in it? Did you pursue it? Was it accessible to you, and to others? At this point, is it a dream, a nightmare, a reality, or an illusion? Share your American dreams forward.
