I love it. Burgers, hot dogs, lemonade, and my mom's traditional flag cake recipe that came from the back of a Cool Whip tub. Yes, please! LO will be too tiny this year but next year it's on :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-to-host-a-holiday#post-738302 Tue, 23 Apr 2013 20:43:04 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 738302@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>4TH OF JULY! First of all, very casual. Secondly, my husband has a license to light those huge fireworks and he buys them from a local dealer.<br /> I'd just light up the grill and rent some pavilion tents and a DJ and i'd make it really special. The guys usually end up stripping into shorts and diving into the pool by the end of the night.<br /> We usually do this as an "annual BBQ" we host, but we could move it to the 4th of July if we wanted to, </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-to-host-a-holiday#post-738292 Tue, 23 Apr 2013 20:39:45 +0000 Lindsay05 738292@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Canada day! Fireworks, campfire, bbq-ing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-to-host-a-holiday#post-738290 Tue, 23 Apr 2013 20:37:22 +0000 blackbird 738290@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was also gonna say 4th of July! Strawberry lemonade, burgers, beer, games....I wish I had a pool! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-to-host-a-holiday#post-738278 Tue, 23 Apr 2013 20:29:38 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 738278@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Fourth of July BBQ. I love grilled hotdogs and the day just lingers with cool beverages. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-to-host-a-holiday#post-738202 Tue, 23 Apr 2013 19:54:08 +0000 mrs. 64 738202@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My family has an annual "mid-summer party" that we have taken over hosting. Other than that I think I could handle Easter. I don't think our kitchen/house are big enough for Thanksgiving or Christmas! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-to-host-a-holiday#post-738181 Tue, 23 Apr 2013 19:45:49 +0000 Smurfette 738181@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Easter, cause we have corn hole and bocce ball tournament. We have a big yard so it would be perfect. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-to-host-a-holiday#post-738085 Tue, 23 Apr 2013 18:55:44 +0000 avivoca 738085@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love hosting Thanksgiving! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-to-host-a-holiday#post-738076 Tue, 23 Apr 2013 18:50:43 +0000 Dandelion 738076@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My family is a little weird...St. Patty's day is one of our family holidays. So, I would choose that one, cause it's the least work, and I love the festiveness of it! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-to-host-a-holiday#post-738072 Tue, 23 Apr 2013 18:49:15 +0000 yoursilverlining 738072@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love Thanksgiving and have mad gravy making skillz so I would love to host! My mom is the Thanksgiving maven though, so I won't be hosting for a long time.</p> <p>We host Christmas Eve every year, which is fun. Less pressure than Christmas dinner, but you can still do cute Christmasy themed foods (like a snowman cheeseball haha) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-to-host-a-holiday#post-738067 Tue, 23 Apr 2013 18:44:31 +0000 brownie 738067@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm with you on Halloween. I hate Christmas and thanksgiving I can give or take. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-to-host-a-holiday#post-737970 Tue, 23 Apr 2013 18:08:55 +0000 Sweet T 737970@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Christmas! I've always loved Christmas because it was always spent with my family. I would love to have everyone in our home for such a special day. Hopefully, we'll make our way back to GA soon and I can split the hosting responsibilities with my MawMaw. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-to-host-a-holiday#post-737963 Tue, 23 Apr 2013 18:04:53 +0000 Mrs. Pen 737963@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Christmas!!!! I would love to decorate for Christmas and I love the joy and everything. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-to-host-a-holiday#post-737959 Tue, 23 Apr 2013 18:01:34 +0000 pelikila 737959@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanksgiving. I enjoy hosting Thanksgiving because it is one meal whereas Christmas in my family is several meals (Christmas Eve dinner, Christmas morning breakfast, and Christmas Day dinner). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-to-host-a-holiday#post-737953 Tue, 23 Apr 2013 17:58:30 +0000 Honeybee 737953@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We've hosted Thanksgiving a few times, which was really great. We've also dome New Years, but I think we're too boring to host that one again, lol. This year we're hosting Christmas, which I'm really excited about! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-to-host-a-holiday#post-737929 Tue, 23 Apr 2013 17:46:39 +0000 Mrs.Someone 737929@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like to host passover. The only tricky part is that it usually falls on a work day! I'd also like Thanksgiving, but my family has the same plan every year... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-to-host-a-holiday#post-737926 Tue, 23 Apr 2013 17:44:13 +0000 swedishfish 737926@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Well my MIL offered us Christmas Eve but it's not hers to offer - it's my DH's aunt's ha. I think I'd like to host Christmas at some point though. I'm too chicken to host Thanksgiving because it's all about the food. No turkey we've made has ever come out really great. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-to-host-a-holiday#post-737878 Tue, 23 Apr 2013 17:13:41 +0000 loveisstrange 737878@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Christmas! Good food, prsents, fun decor and lots of family love. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-to-host-a-holiday#post-737868 Tue, 23 Apr 2013 17:07:23 +0000 JennyLayneAZ 737868@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We've hosted Thanksgiving a few times, and we really enjoy it. I think I'd stick with that one :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-to-host-a-holiday#post-737865 Tue, 23 Apr 2013 17:06:05 +0000 lovehoneybee 737865@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Probably Christmas, although we don't really have the space to host in our current apartment. Thanksgiving would get my vote except it's pretty sacred in our family, always at DH's aunt's cabin overlooking the Chesapeake Bay (we just the cabin "The Bay") , and no one (myself included) would accept it being held anywhere else. I've taken over the baking and am slowly trying to take over the cooking, though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-to-host-a-holiday#post-737856 Tue, 23 Apr 2013 17:02:18 +0000 heffalump 737856@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would like to do Passover. I've helped my mom cook for it many times so I feel comfortable making the traditional foods, and I'd love to have all of those leftovers. </p> <p>I probably won't host any time soon though. Dh and my parents and extended family live here so it's a lot of people, too much when lo is so young. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-to-host-a-holiday#post-737831 Tue, 23 Apr 2013 16:53:24 +0000 Mrs. Grizzly Bear 737831@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If you had to host a traditional family holiday and could only choose one, which holiday would you choose?</p> <p>Personally I like Thanksgiving okay and Christmas is nice but my favorite family holiday is Easter, so I would want to host it! And this year I got to host it for my parents, which was very exciting because it was our first holiday celebration in our new house. </p> <p>(Although my all time favorite holiday is Halloween :) But not many families get together to celebrate it :( ) </p>
