We got married last year the weekend after Thanksgiving, so now we have an anniversary in there, too! Thanksgiving is lots of food. Christmas is my favorite. The town I grew up in has a christmas parade and big tree lighting ceremony. There is also a local place that has lights set up all around the cranberry bogs. I will get everyone new PJs to open Christmas eve. After presents are opened on Christmas morning, I will make Dad's famous breakfast since we don't live near him anymore. Then it's likely we will have Christmas dinner with DHs parents. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/holiday-traditions-1#post-265318 Tue, 21 Aug 2012 07:25:28 +0000 regberadaisy 265318@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Growing up there weren' really much holiday traditions besides Chinese New Year so I'm excited to start some with M!</p> <p>Easter: Basket!!! Can't wait to make M her first basket</p> <p>Halloween: Definitely trick or treating, pumpkin patch and carving jack o lanterns.</p> <p>Thanksgiving: Big dinner and daddy's turkey. :D One of my favorite meals of all time</p> <p>Christmas: Not sure if we're going to do the cookie thing. But I think watching A Christmas Story yearly is a must. ETA: yes I want to do Xmas brunch every year!</p> <p>Chinese New Year: A big lunar dinner every year, red envelopes and hopefully going back to NYC at least every other year. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/holiday-traditions-1#post-265291 Tue, 21 Aug 2012 05:21:49 +0000 heffalump 265291@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're huge on traditions!</p> <p>Halloween : pumpkin patch and carving and trick or treating</p> <p>Thanksgiving : wake up listening to rocky to get psycked to run the turkey trot, then go to my moms for brunch.

I already bought her a little pumpkin costume :) I haven't thought about what to do for Christmas, but I know we'll open one gift on Christmas Eve and leave cookies/milk out for Santa.</p> <p>What are some of your favorite Holiday traditions? </p>
