Tradition is not just one monolithic 'thing'. It needs definition.
As for saying they are made by dead white men, that certainly fits with the current Zeitgeist, but how far that is true, I am not sure. Of course it is possible to name traditions male in origin, but there have in time and still are traditions around childbirth, child rearing, menstruation and the menopause - and old wive's tales to go with them, which are entirely female in origin.
I read somewhere that a traditon is simply somthing your parents did regularly. Many of the traditions people respect are frequently only 2 generations old and disappear with a third.
The one thing I have learnt in life is that every thing is mutable and that particularly applies to traditions. This years immutable tradition is out with the rubbish next year and completely forgotten the following year.
We also back invent traditions. Take the Tradtional English breakfast. Where did that come from? Go into into a hotel and the TEB will include eggs, bacon, sausages, the option of a regional delicacy(black pudding), tomatoes, hash potatoes, mushrooms, baked beans and half a dozen other ingredients.
Look back to see what an English breakfast was 50 years ago, in a home, or hotel. It was an egg, piece of meat (bacon, sausage, black pud or something else) but one only, and a slice of fried bread. occasionally a kipper, toast and marlelade and a cup of tea. In poorer families it was likely to be just fried bread plus egg or bacon.
Certainly not the cornucopia we are offered now and no fruit juice, cereal, breakfast breads and all the other thingse.
Traditions are not something to get hung up on.Traditions are like dogs, not just for Christmas, but most traditions probably last less than 20 years. Slightly longer than the dog.
