[EBS입트영 6/7 Fri] Our Family’s Year-end Ritual / 우리 가족의 연말 행사

7 Fri. Our Family’s Year-end Ritual / 우리 가족의 연말 행사

 

Our family has a special yearly ritual.

On New Year’s Eve, we all get together, write down our New Year’s resolutions, and put them into a small container.

 

Then, we open it a year later like a time capsule.

On the last day of the year, we go over how well we’ve stuck to our plans, encourage each other, and write down new resolutions for the following year.

 

We started doing this when the kids were young, and now our two daughters are in 9th grade and 4th grade.

 

It’s fascinating to see how their resolutions become more specific and realistic as they grow older.

My husband writes about losing extra weight and reading every year, but he’s never actually achieved those goals.

 

He must have felt sheepish about it, because last New Year’s Eve, he suggested we not criticize each other over the results.

 

As for me, I made a resolution two years ago to “consistently study 입트영,” and I've been true to my word so far.
