What special tradition did you do as a kid w/your family

Do you now try to do with your own?

For me, it would be the traditions I had as a kid for Easter. Easter egg hunts, blow up rabbits, getting all dressed up.

you had to do the first post dintcha?

well what I try to do is on our birthdays if it lands during hte week we have an indimate little cake just the four of use. And hjave a familyu cake on thew weekend, this way I dont have azoo ove rmy house

Well my Mom used to pull me out of school every few months and do a mother daughter day and we would get lunch and go to a movie and it was really special....I try to do this with my 8 yr old

If my mom took me out of school it was only for the doctor your lucky.

We had tons of traditions when I was a kid all of which I use with the kids now, especially the one for their birthdays where I wake them up on the exact minute they were born and the rest of the day they can do no wrong(to a point of course)they also get to pick what ever they want cooked for dinner or a restaurant they would like to go to.

We really did not have too many and that stinks, but I do remember as a child...my mom always leaving our X-mass presents by our pillows. It never failed on X-mass day.

We always went to the beach together.

Um, there was traditionally a fight right before christmas

Kev's family has a lot of traditions though - I'm so happy to be apart of them now

I do want to try to start some when I have kids of my own though.

Wait up on Christmas Eve dancing and eating till midnight to give out and open gifts witht he entire family.

My mom assigned each of us ( I have 2 younger brothers) a specific spot under the Christmas tree and would then give each of us a certain type of wrapping paper....I look forward to it every year...Each of us knows where our gifts are

We used to go out and cut down a Christmas tree...

On our birthday, my parents would let us go to the toy store and pick out a toy. We would get presents on our birthday also, but it was a very special thing. Going to the toy store with your whole family and they help YOU pick out a toy. I loved doing that. I do that now with my dh. On or around his birthday, we will spend the day going to stores he enjoys and I buy him his birthday gift. I plan on doing that for my daughter when she gets older.

Halloween Beef Stew....
My mom always made beef strew on Halloween...she said that she liked to brew in one pot on that day...(the little witch) It was great though, because no matter what time we came in from trick or treating there was warm stew on the stove...and enough for all our friends too.

Fairly New Tradition....
Every mother's day we have a brunch at my cousin Jen's house....only woman...no men.
If you do not have any children, your mother must be present at the brunch. It started a few years ago...we just had the 3rd annual one this past weekend.

Our traditions are all about Christmas...from decorating to celebrating. My beloved father was all about Christmas and I hope to continue his legacy in my own family with my own children some day.

My husband and I have already started a new one...every Christmas morning we have cinnomin (sp?) rolls for breakfast.

we had many here are a few

my brother and i watch white christmas together every year no matter what since we were 8 and 5


we would have the food we were going to eat blessed by the priest for easter and christmas

my dad my brother and i would make easter eggs every year and my dads were always works of art.


every last sunday of the month my dad and i would make potato pancakes and pierogis from scratch i havent done that since my dad died i think i may ask my mom to do it with this sunday

when my sister and i were kids we would make easter eggs and bobalova yummy that was my favorite some people call eggs in a basket it is delicious.

we always made a big deal about holidays....and learned or cleebrated with other on ones that we didn't (ie-Hannukah!)...anothe rbig tradition has always been readig together (can you say my mom was a teacher and I was nerd??!!!)...my last, when we lived in an apt growing up, we always spent sat out at aprk, zoo or anywhere fun!
