My family always has family dinners, as far as I can remember. When I was a little boy, my mother began to ask us to go to family dinners at least once a week. Every Sunday, my mother bought a lot of food and brought it to my grandma's house. We waited for more family members to come before eating together at the table, my grandma's dinner table. In the past, I felt that was a little silly(愚蠢的)tradition.
However, I find it's fantastic to get together as a family now. For me, dinner is not just a meal, but a good time to talk and play with family. We can talk about anything and everything after a long week of school and work. Every time I sit at the dinner table, my grandma's dinner table, I look around and find so many people who truly love me. It makes me feel so happy.
Finally, I understand the true meaning of this tradition. It's not about the dinners or activities. It's about family, a group of people who care about each other.
Now, I'm always expecting Sunday to arrive. All the memories around my grandma's dinner table will last forever.
