Why This Battle Matters

Does the smell of smoke and sizzle from a Backyard Barbecue evoke more joy than the crescendo of a New Year’s Countdown? Here's where the rubber meets the road in our modern saga of tradition versus transformation. The Backyard BBQ, with its laid-back, familial roots contrasts sharply against the electric, community-wide spectacle of welcoming a New Year. It’s more than just a battle of seasonal preferences—it's a cultural tug-of-war where the past and potential future of how we celebrate, gather, and reflect are at stake. As we light the grill and ready the champagne, ask yourself: which tradition holds the true essence of celebration for you?
