Since it's the holiday season and I LOVE traditions, what is your favorite holiday tradition (ex: holiday game nights, the food, movies, etc)? Who do you share the tradition with, what do you do and why is it your favorite?

I think it's too hard to just think of only ONE favorite holiday tradition, because I absolutely love the holidays! I feel as if the time between Thanksgiving and Christmas is just always a blur, because we have SO much food during that time, that I just seem to food coma throughout November and December. But I guess...

#1. FOOD. Thanksgiving dinner is amazing. 'Nuff said.


#2. Christmas party!
Lots of food (obviously), people, and Christmas gifts and cheer. One of two times of the year where my entire family on my mom's side spend the entire day together - the other, being Chinese New Year. The non-existent aroma of our 19 year old fake tree, and the broken train tracks we try to put together every year really create the perfect Christmas, despite the imperfection of it all.

#3. Christmas carnival. Every year, all the high school/college kids from my church get together and prepare a Christmas carnival for all the little kids in the neighborhood. Though this requires months of preparation, it's a LOT of fun, and we get to create fun little games like "Ice-fishing" and "Penguin Bowl". There must be something magical about Disney Christmas songs and dressing up like elves, that really allows our community to come together and spend time with all the little ones that are our next generation!

I can't wait till the holidays! Christmas - come sooner please!
