Viva posted this how-to video.
Is this an example of a custom, admittedly Irish, that you refer to?

Our Lady of Good Success said that in our time many customs would be lost. I definitely see that. Even from when I was a young girl there were many more customs then what we we today.
Are there any customs that came from Christendom that you remember. I would like to revive some in our family.
I know one that I am going to implement when my children are at that age is courtship...like the way you saw it done in the Godfather movie.
Better the way it was done in The Quiet Man.

I guess I mean more social customs...maybe there is a book and maybe the dynamics of family life...I remember reading a historical book that spoke of children standing while the parents ate, although I wouldn't so that it shows the difference in how parents were respected compared to today where children are little  princes/ princesses and grow up disrespectful and spoiled.
We stand to say our before and after meal prayers.  We have a Happy Birthday cake on Christmas and open presents on the Epiphany.  We always start and end the day giving eachother a morning hug and kiss (yes, even the children to eachother).  We wear Sunday best to Church, too.
