This seems like a perfect celebration... you can make your nachos together as a family and anything with Avocados, fresh veggies and melted cheese is usually good.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18102021077288360551noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4004819914168891869.post-41419259943529406142014-01-02T15:28:49.946-05:002014-01-02T15:28:49.946-05:00Let's do it Stephanie!

Our big Christmas tradition is making tamales on Christmas eve day. We make so many we fill our freezer with them so we can enjoy them for months to come. We get our teenagers to help spread the maza, lay in the meat, roll and fold. They comply although somewhat grudgingly, but they don't mind eating them. We have them for dinner, for lunch, and then fry them for breakfast and top them with fried eggs and habanero salsa. This is heaven for us; not just the food, but the time with family.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16168539393532763336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4004819914168891869.post-85151288838275445482014-01-02T08:50:45.949-05:002014-01-02T08:50:45.949-05:00I'd love to get in on that snail mail fun, and...I'd love to get in on that snail mail fun, and community building, and potlucks....Miss you and your family.

I feel like your in a good spot Amber. To me Traditions are just as important and special when you create them as when they have been bestowed. It feels like the ones we create are part of our threaded heritage being handed down from our ancestors. We will work on this together :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18102021077288360551noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4004819914168891869.post-80941137916989087232014-01-02T00:19:27.419-05:002014-01-02T00:19:27.419-05:00I'd like to have more traditions than I do bec...I'd like to have more traditions than I do because I love tradition but the few that I do have are very precious to me. <br />Here is my favorite one:<br />Every Sunday my husband has off work and that is the one night a week we always have a more formal family dinner where we are all together and we always hold hands and sing "The Lords Been Good to Me." I love this song especially because we always sang it as our blessing before dinner at both my homes. My parents divorced when I was very young and my 2 house holds were very different but this One thing was always the same and miraculously my husband who also grew up in a split family did the exact same thing so that makes it Extra Special.
