A specific custom my friends and
I have is to have a monthly get-together. The first thing we do is that we each
put a certain amount of money into a common pot. Each month, a different friend
gets to keep all of that money. Each friend has his month to keep the money. We
have done this for the past two years. Every year we increase the amount of
money we put in.
Apart from this, we also watch movies, go out to eat, cook meat on a grill, buy some drinks, etc. We do all we can so that on a holiday, we can, in the end, get together. These types of situations unite us more as friends who now feel more like brothers. Whenever one needs help, there is always another one to support him. For example, lately one of us moved out of his house, and we all went to help move his things and then went out to eat (which is something we always do when we get together). Well, that is a little bit of what we do in my closest group of friends.
