She makes her own tortillas, which is what really makes them extra special. </p> <p>DH and I stayed home and did our own Christmas in California the last couple of years, and we started our own tradition of dungeness crab on Christmas eve. We would buy the live ones , and then boil them. I'll miss that tradition, now that we live in Iowa, and there is no fresh seafood to be found. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/holiday-tradition#post-464097 Mon, 24 Dec 2012 12:13:11 +0000 jedeve 464097@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We do shrimp scampi on Christmas Eve! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/holiday-tradition#post-464000 Mon, 24 Dec 2012 11:18:19 +0000 JessiBee 464000@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@prettylizy: My family always did (chocolate) fondue on New Years! Agreed: amazing, delicious family tradition.<br /> Ours for christmas is the same as many Jewish families: Chinese food and a movie. Growing up, we also often did some kind of community service that day, helping serve at a shelter, cleaning up a park, etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/holiday-tradition#post-463994 Mon, 24 Dec 2012 11:15:44 +0000 prettylizy 463994@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Smurfette: mmmm, steak for dinner is ALWAYS a good idea. We did surf and turf last year for Christmas dinner and it was awesome. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/holiday-tradition#post-463536 Sun, 23 Dec 2012 23:32:03 +0000 Smurfette 463536@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The whole family goes to church then to my parents (use to my grandparents) for appetizer dinner, gifts, then we just all hang out. So much fun! I also loved we would lay around on Christmas Day in our pj's all day playing games, followed by steaks for dinner. I miss that now that I have to go to the IL Christmas Day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/holiday-tradition#post-463521 Sun, 23 Dec 2012 23:00:25 +0000 prettylizy 463521@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnlove: Not really, because melting pot makes the cheese and the chocolate and it's just sooooo good. Seriously, make time and go!! You won't regret it:) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/holiday-tradition#post-463515 Sun, 23 Dec 2012 22:54:25 +0000 autumnlove 463515@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Is it better than Melting Pot?! I still need to go! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/holiday-tradition#post-463499 Sun, 23 Dec 2012 22:40:16 +0000 prettylizy 463499@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What is your favourite holiday tradition? Every year since I was about 10 my family would have fondue for dinner on Christmas Eve and I look forward to is soooo much, it's the best part of the season for me (and soooooo delicious!). Funnily enough, DH's family has the exact same tradition, so even though we swap back and forth for dinner every year, I get fondue every Christmas Eve :) </p>
