JetFanByMarriage Posted December 2, 2005 Share Posted December 2, 2005 With the holidays approaching I was wondering what traditions everyone might have? One we do is celebrate the Feast of Saint Nicholas by putting the childs shoe by the window the night of dec 5th and St Nick leaves a small gift in it in preparation for Christmas. It is a fun way to start the countdown for the kids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxman Posted December 2, 2005 Share Posted December 2, 2005 When I was a kid my parents used to play Summertime in December. They made us go to school with no jackets and we never got Christmas presents. I think it was just a way for them to save money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthCoastJetsFan Posted December 2, 2005 Share Posted December 2, 2005 When my grandmother passed on, I took over making a German Stollen (fruit bread) for Christmas. We have it for breakfast Christmas morning, and it reminds us of her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maxman Posted December 2, 2005 Share Posted December 2, 2005 When my grandmother passed on, I took over making a German Stollen (fruit bread) for Christmas. We have it for breakfast Christmas morning, and it reminds us of her. Never had that. That is a pretty cool tradition though...you need something quick on Christmas morning. Can eat too long, while the presents are just begging to be opened. Irish Soda bread is what we had growing up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't care how bad latkes are for your health. If you're worried about that, pile your helping onto my plate. There is nothing better than a plate full of potato latkes with applesauce or sour cream. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Posted December 2, 2005 Share Posted December 2, 2005 This just in...Fried Foods = Bad for you. Film at 11. We have an update: No matter what you eat, you'll eventually die, anyway. Tune in tomorrow for a special JetNation Weekend Edition. As for traditions, I mostly try to get through a day of my family, my parents, my brother's family and, sometimes, my sister's family - all jammed into one house - without screaming.

That's alot of travel Bob!!! And, no doubt, alot of screaming. (Breaking News: Some will die earlier than others due to poor health. And then there are those who actually care about what their bodies look like!) TRADITIONS: ONE CHRISTMAS STOCKING GIFT OPENED ON CHRISTMAS EVE!

vanDoug Posted December 2, 2005 Share Posted December 2, 2005 I don't have any relatives in this time zone so to me Christmas tradition is traveling and getting together with as much family as possible It helps me remember... - the limited gene pool from where I came - how petty the family squabbles are - that I'm an antisocial ba$tard for wanting to turn the game on TV - how much people love to talk about their gifted offspring (translation = "I'm gifted") - poor table manners and most importantly - to drink more than usual to soften the above pass the salt, d Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
