For a secular example, when my family visits the university, we've developed a tradition of going out to eat. It's become meaningful to me because it's one of the few circumstances where I and > 1 relatives can be in the same place for an hour or more without it devolving into bickering. If we did so too frequently, the luster probably would wear off, but once or twice a month seems to be about right.
