It is about ignoring. It’s about the fact that there is no logical explanation for all minor (as in younger than young adult) age groups ignoring a tradition with some arbitrary exceptions. I’m not saying that they can’t eat a grand meal. I’m saying that they ignore that, and several other traditions that make no sense for their age group. Except apparently when they don’t.
There is is a difference between loving a tradition (heart around tradition) and participation in it (ie, not ignoring it—it is available to complete). There is no logical explanation as to why one group of toddlers would *love* a tradition while all others ignore it because of their age rather than simply participating in it. Likewise, there’s no logical explanation for why a child would ignore a tradition because they are mean, but all other children ignore it because they are children. And the Grand Meal is an example of this because it’s something that everyone can physically do. It’s literally just eating. Children can interact with gnomes to fulfill a tradition, but not eat a grand meal? And they also participate in the “Grilling” food tradition, so there is precedent for participation in this type of tradition. It’s so arbitrary. This screams oversight. I don’t believe this is how it was intended to be executed. It makes no sense.
Please reread all of my posts and translate them if necessary into whatever language you’re playing in (German, I presume), and maybe get some more experience with holidays and traditions. I don’t think you are seeing the distinction between participating in a tradition—not the ACTION, but the holiday tradition—versus loving the tradition, versus ignoring the tradition. Again, none of it makes sense, and it seems arbitrary in an accidental way.
