Invented tradition facts for kids

"Ancient" Scottish clan tartans are an example of an invented tradition created in the 19th century
Invented traditions are those traditions of recent origin which may claim to be old but are usually recently invented (made up). For example, watching It's a Wonderful Life every Christmas for three years in a row and then claiming it is a family tradition is an "invented tradition". Decorating with evergreens at Christmastime however is a tradition, or traditional.
