What are some of your family triditions that you carry on in your family household?

Xmas tree goes up tomorrow eve!!!

Songs. Fun. Laughter

God I love my family soooo friggin much!!!

The cooking has already started.

The women come over tomorrow and take over the kitchen, no guys allowed.

The men are dispersed as follows:

The jocks in front of the 60 inch watching sports polishing up for the odd chance that they can get a second job as a sports authority.

The older ones in the back playing horseshoes, drinking, cursing each other out, and re-living the glory days of the 70's.

The younger ones on the side of the house playing house.

Everyone eats one big plate, then everyone start stealing like crazy taking home two and three plates apiece...never to see each other again until next year.

I cut out a batch of homemade egg noodles. This will be added to a thick chicken broth making the only appropriate "gravy" for the mashed potatoes I will be making tomorrow.

The tradition: Eating chicken and noodles until to the point of bursting, then falling asleep during the third quarter of the Lions game, only to wake up, change to the Cowboys game, and go back to sleep.
