Family Holiday Traditions - What are yours? (lemmy.world)

Hearing about other people's traditions is often interesting. When my wife and I got married we decided to start a Christmas Eve tradition where we'd pick a country and plan out a dinner consisting of items from it. We're making sure we've got the necessary ingredients for this year's meal and it brought to mind how comforting and fun family traditions can be.

So what does your family do this time of year (or any time of the year) that you look forward to and helps make the holiday feel like the holiday for you?

I don't doubt that you'll find a path to a good Christmas, most people do. It isn't like we're unique in having to transition to a new way of things as the older generation leaves us. That numbness might take longer to fade, but if we stay open to the new, it can.

As a point towards that, Thanksgiving at least has turned into a new tradition for us. My best friend hosts, and it's all about togetherness.

I keep hoping something will stick for Christmas. Maybe as our kid reaches adulthood, something will form up, that's what I'm holding onto to keep the current grinchness at bay.
