Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- AI-generated comics aren't allowed.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Tradition is always the worst reason to do something.
If you had any other reason to do something, you would use that as an excuse.
I wouldn't go that far. Some traditions can be a positive that help give people a sense of shared community: christmas trees, presents and gluhwein for christmas, turkey for thanksgiving, etc
There are better reasons for all those things.
"Because the decorating the Christmas tree is fun and it looks pretty"
"Because it's nice for me to give and receive gifts"
"Because Turkey tastes good"
Those are also all the reasons those things became traditional in the first place.
Sure, and I'm not claiming otherwise.
