There's no "problem". Like I said, I can understand the point of having dinner on sunday. But having dinner on sunday =/= "sunday dinner" tradition.

It's simply a matter of starting to do something, making a commitment to do it regularly, and then doing it. You do it long enough and it can certainly be referred to as "tradition".
"not anything normal".... Well I guess we just disagree there. If you perhaps meant "not common" then I might agree on that, which brings me back to it being a sad comment on society as a whole. We seem to have lost some if not most of our family values somewhere along the way. Maybe people who haven't heard of traditions like this need to stop and take a moment to consider this closer.
It's really not that hard a concept to understand that members of a greater family who still live within driving distance of one another would want to have a regular day to visit and share a meal. Is it?

Now this makes more sense. As in, it's not a "true" tradition. It's simply a common convenient practice to have dinner with the family on sundays. Therefore becoming a tradition to the family. And yes, I did mean common.
