Growing up, my parents were adamant about dinner on the table at 5, every one sits down and eats together. Without the TV on.... which wasn't a big deal in the 60s/70s because there weren't very many stations to choose from, and at 5pm, it was all news.
We would get into our rituals ... one summer every day after dinner we watched Land of the Giants together. Which was an odd show to watch as a family. lol
As I had children of my own, I continued the tradition of eating as a family. Many meals consisted of giggling children, but they're good memories.
Now that I'm older, if I eat alone, then yes, its with the TV on. But on Tuesdays, its family dinner night at my mother's. My nephew and his kids come over. We have a good time playing different games!
Its nice to have a tradition that continues through the generations!
