Tradition!!

Yes, I sang my blog title just like Tevye from Fiddler on the roof as I typed it, so what? You know you're singing it just like that now too.

Anyway... I've been thinking a lot about traditions lately. Growing up we didn't really have a lot of traditions, and I want to change that when I have kids. I want to have things that my kids look forward to on holidays, something they can count on. A food, an activity, a story... something that is uniquely ours. The trouble is that I don't know what I want those traditions to be.

So here is my question of the week: What are some of your favorite family/holiday traditions? Beware, I can't guarantee that I won't steal them.

My family does food gifts on Christmas eve. It started when my Parents didnt have any money and the kids would just get each other one of their fave foods for Christmas. we still do it! you just do one person though.

One that is actually Cody's family tradition that I think is fun is that they would wrap the door way that would lead into the room with the Christmas tree and they were take their turns every year to bust through it Christmas morning. It helps keep out peekers and plus it's fun!
