These are actual pictures of my car

Every year, our family gets together at christmas time.
Everyone brings a gift.
After dinner, we exchange gifts.
Everyone picks a random gift.
One of the adults dresses up as santa.
They hand out small presents to the little kids.
Our family has a giant thanksgiving meal every year.
We always have a huge turkey with home made gravy and stuffing
I always eat lots of canned cranberry sauce.

On the 4th of July, we go camping on the family timber in Iowa
We light off good fireworks, not sparklers or fountains
(They have much better fireworks in Iowa)

I knew the first 9 traditions, but had to ask my dad about the last one.
By having a thanksgiving dinner, we conform to culture in America.
By lighing the fireworks in Iowa, we don't breal the law.
The gift exchange reflects our values.
culture- refers to the knowledge, language, values, custome, and members of a group.
Law- norms that are formally defined and enforced by officials.
Values- broad ideas about what most people in a society consider to be desireable.
