Keep the evening. Pass it on.

A people lasts by what it does when the day is over. Not by whatever starts itself. Four parts, in order. A song the children can learn. One story you chose. One page read aloud. One job for the house. Then the set goes off.

That is how a house survives the evening and hands the next one a tradition. Do it once this week. If it was good, do it again. Do not start with seven nights.
