Ok, so learning about other cultural/religious traditions and rituals just fascinates me so I got to thinking, since there are folks from all walks of life here, what traditions do you do for the holidays or any other day for that matter?
I'll start.
My step mom is an awful cook so before going to my dad's on xmas eve, my hubby and I would go to the Chinese buffet. We did it for several years until we saw my dad coming out of the McDonald's across the street on the way to get my Granny that we all got together and decided no more home cooked meals on xmas eve! We ALL were eating out anyway so now we all go 18 of us, to get Chinese and then go to my dad's to exchange gifts.
The other tradition is from my mom's side. Every year when we decorated the tree, we would put a few dozen ornaments in a box on the table next to it. When someone would come to visit, they were asked to hang an ornament on the tree. Most if the ornaments were hand made so it usually led to a story too.
What about you guys? It's safe here, no one will judge you![Smile :) :)](/talk/styles/default/xenforo/smileys/grin.gif)
