The holidays are a time to celebrate with family and friends. In my family, we have many Christmas traditions that have been passed down over the years. Family traditions are a wonderful way to remember the past and make new memories for the future. Here a few ideas of "fun old-fashion" family traditions from my family to yours. Start a new tradition this year!
Breakfast - On Christmas morning, we always have sausage biscuits and my mother's Breakfast Squares, which is form of an egg souffle. A Christmas morning breakfast is a simple tradition to start. Find something that is quick and easy for a group of people. Stay tuned to my blog. I will give out my mom's recipe closer to Christmas!
A Holiday Movie - Every year as a family, we watch National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation. We all know every line! This is something so simple and inexpensive to do together as a family and always brings a good laugh.
Dinner - On Christmas Eve, we have the family clam sauce. This is a tradition that I received from my husband's family. It is a secret family recipe my father-in-law shared with me right before my husband and I got married. Learning how to make this sauce meant a lot to me, and it brings me a tremendous amount of joy to make it every year. Sorry guys, this recipe is a secret!
Find a tradition that works for your family. I can promise you that even the smallest tradition will over the years bring more meaning to your holidays and family gatherings.

ReplyDeleteI always go to Thompson Street in Alameda to see the special block of houses lit up on both sides of the street.
