They have shared a few family traditions
Song told Good Morning America that she visits a botanical garden on Mother’s Day with her mother and other family members. She described the tradition simply: “It’s just about spending time with your loved ones.”
ABC News also reported that the family watched Home Alone during the two preceding Christmases and that Dakota thought he was Kevin McCallister. That is a family anecdote, rather than evidence that the film is a regular viewing tradition beyond those occasions.
