In general I'm resistant to the idea of change and will reject when needed.

This.

For example, I love traditions at the holidays.  Having a tree, decorating it almost 100% with ornaments that have been collected over a long period of time which are passed down the generations, having the traditional meal (with one new element usually each year)...

I also enjoy baking before the holidays... date filled cookies, rosettes, russian teacakes, gingerbread snaps, fruitcake...

I like traditions.  It gives you a connection to the past.  It's why Catholicism has always appealed to me more than other Christian sects... they place a much higher value on traditions, repetition, things that almost become mechanical (like kneeling before entering a pew row, doing the sign of the cross with holy water, etc).

I was never really big into the emotional exploitation of the fundie types.

I love traditions at Thanksgiving, Christmas, etc., but I also want to preserve traditions in other things.  For example, I love traditional animation (the hand-drawn kind), but I despise most CGI (largely because traditional animation is usually far superior.)  I generally believe in preserving traditions in general.  That being said, there are some traditions of the past that aren't so good, and those definitely should be rejected.
