Giving up silly traditions? That's a possibility.
Barmymoo:
I don't think it's a silly tradition, even if you're not Christian (obviously if you are, it's even less silly - although I don't think it's obligatory for Christians and often haven't bothered if there was nothing meaningful for me to give up). 40 days is about the right length of time to successfully give up a bad habit or something you want to cut down on, and during Lent people are more understanding and supportive of people giving stuff up and don't usually respond with "seriously, why would you give up [thing that most people see as essential to life, like chocolate, alcohol or Facebook]?". Having other people around who are also depriving themselves can be motivating and knowing there's an end point makes it easier (even though often after that length of time you don't always miss what you thought you couldn't cope without).
