Tradition Has Its Place
When Maria and I first talked about getting married, we looked at where we might want to live. We had lived in Hanover for a few years each, but didn’t know if this is where we wanted to settle permanently.
The longer we thought about it, however, the more we realized we didn’t want to leave.
We didn’t have that far to travel to Lancaster or Baltimore to visit our families. We had a nice quiet neighborhood to raise a child. We grew quite fond of local traditions and customs.
The local paper has had a lot of back-and-forth about our local Halloween traditions. I don’t like to get high and mighty, but the newcomers should back off.
