family traditions are great but sadly we don't have one. now that I have a kid I want to start a tradition. any ideas? can you share yours? please.

Holidays and festivals are always the best way to start traditions. For example, in my family, on the first day of the new year, we'd make it a point to have dinner as a family. This tradition has been with my family since I was a kid and more meaningful now that my siblings and I are living in different countries. Even though we are apart, we still made it a point to skype and have "dinner" together with my parents in Singapore.
