Customize your customs

Well, there is this old custom in Christian weddings that I heard from an
American friend. The bride is supposed to wear on her wedding day -
Something old
Something new
Something borrowed
Something blue
All these customs make life so much more interesting. I may have
forgotten my birthday but never those BUMPS that i got in college. I
may forget college but never the fresher's queen crown that I wore once
in a lifetime. That made me feel like a MIss-Universe-for-aday.
Customs - I dont mean the ones being followed by our forefathers alone.
But also the ones that have emerged over the years. I love the
appalam-breaking-over-the-head custom in Tambram weddings. I also love
the chocolate cake cream facial that most of us must have got from our
frnds on the eve of our birthday. The one that I love the most is the
Christmas stocking. I have got it filled only once. Alas! Poor me!!! I
may be as old as my grandma's donkey but the love of these customs
doesnt seem to die.....for ME.
So, what's your favorite???
