A Jesse tree is my new favorite Christmas tradition!
Is there anyone in your life who has the same desires as you? Another good way to grow in your faith is by having a Christian friend/friends so you can encourage each other to grow in your faith (Proverbs 27:17). I will pray God provides this for you. I'm not sure if you can access this in the US, but on Spotify UCB (United Christian Broadcasters) did an overview of the bible (bible books in 30 minutes) which was really good, might help to listen to that if the preaching is lukewarm in churches near you. Also think about what brings you joy and how you can incorporate God more directly into that more :)
I second the previous comments! Community is such a natural way to develop traditions, and they arise out of love of and relationship with God ❤️ Idk what denomination you resonate with, but the book “Catholic All Year” has a lot of more specific examples -fun activities, recipes, etc in the themes of liturgical year. Some of them feel a bit cheesy to me, but they usually are a good starting point for thinking of our own traditions! Re: “a way to eat”… Traditional Catholics still abstain from meat on all Fridays year-round 🤷🏻♀️ The premise is to remind us of Christ’s suffering for our sins on Good Friday. It’s an opportunity to be grateful and a reminder to take up our own little crosses and follow Him. So it doesn’t have to be meat specifically, that’s just the recommendation in case you can’t think of anything else to represent your “cross” on Friday. It’s like a mini Lent I guess, like Sundays are mini Easters
It’s not so much about traditions. Our walk with God is a relationship! So you can have traditions but you really want to be led by the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is God’s Spirit living in you upon salvation. He’s the one that will help you grow closer to God. Having more praise and worship, bible study is a must, you can’t grow spiritually or do this walk with God without studying His word, fasting as well. Those 3 things is where you want to start since you already have a prayer life.
