Family Traditions

Does your family have any traditions? Many times, traditions begin with things that people do during the holidays, and then those things get continued from year to year. It could be anything, big or small. Maybe you string popcorn to decorate your Christmas tree or maybe you serve certain family recipes on various occasions.

Do you enjoy such traditions? Have you come up with ideas of your own?

I used to let the kids pick whatever they wanted for dinner on their birthdays. They got to pick the cake and ice cream flavors too, and I would make whatever they wanted. Then, I would "sneak" them a little piece of birthday cake for breakfast the next morning, pretending like no one else could know and it was just their special thing. They figured out after a while that everyone else got the same thing, but it was fun when they were little.
