Our family has the tradition of having a massive snowball fight whenever we have Christmas, we would have our family and friends come and hurl snowballs at each other all day long until it is almost dark and then we would go back to the house and eat some tasty roast duck! Those were the fun days.
The one I remember best is stringing popcorn! My father would pop the corn and my mother would get the needles and thread ready for us and we'd have a contest to see who could make the longest string. Since I am the youngest I always lost but I think that I had the most fun!
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
