The home is the scene of a great number of rituals. These may be repetitive – like birthdays, the Christmas holidays or daily meals – or occasional – like dinners with family or friends or house warming or engagement parties. The ritual may be experienced by the members taking part as a festive act or seen as the imposition of a convention, as the forced observance of a series of protocols transmitted through tradition. Thus, domestic ceremonies can either be presented as a mechanism that makes it possible to strengthen social relationships or as the staging of a fictitious harmony behind which is hidden rancor and violence leading to the possible destruction of communal ties.
