MomDot Party Day 2- Traditions

My favorite family tradition would have to be Christmas Eve growing up in my family.  My dad’s familly had 5 siblings and as soon as they all started pro-creating I think they must have realized Christmas Eve would be easier to celebrate than Christmas.  That way each of the individual families could celebrate Christmas day with their own families.  

There are an absolute ton of us grandkids and when we were all little the house hosting Christmas Eve would be a zoo!  I remember random dance parties and tons of inside jokes were birthed there.  I wish so much that I could capture all this fun in a picture… but none really captures the scene on the whole.  

Everyone would bring food.  At all our events there was always a feast of food!  And it was always so loud.  So loud we called ourselves “the loud family”.  Our heritage on that side of the family is GREEK, so my husband likes to compare it all to My Big Fat Greek Wedding.  

That was my favorite tradition.  As far as creating a new one?  Hm.  I think for now carving pumpkins and roasting the seeds in the Fall.  It’s the only “holiday” that we are predictably in one place.  BUT I now will be thinking about other important traditions we can start around Christmas!
