Tradition (Sunday Scribbling Prompt)

For some traditions don't exist, aren't important, or perhaps are in the works. I love traditions whether there mine or others. Just hearing about them and what they mean to those who follow them is what makes me smile.

I guess I have a few traditions with my kids. Besides picking a new ornament to be placed on the tree each year, we have made it a tradition to bake gingerbread people, attempt to make a gingerbread house thank god they make the pre cut ones now lol. We have an annual Easter Egg hunt, we also have a spa day atleast once a year.

How did we come about the ornament tradition? Nine out of ten chances we were out and about and something pretty or funny caught our eye and we decided hey we got to have that for the tree and that is what we decided to do from here on out. Okay really how it came about when each child was born I got them there first ornament and then so on and so on for each year there after. Annual Easter Egg hunt, we just loved the fact that Easter brings about some of the prettiest colors and who doesn't like to have an Easter Egg hunt. We have anywhere from 10 to 18 kids each year sometimes a little more but who is counting its all about having fun I love it and so do they. Making gingerbread people came about when I got really fed up after making gingerbread houses three years in a row from scratch and having them collapse or just not look as good as those on television, so we decided to try making people, we invite kids over from school and we all decorate I prebake the people then set out little bowls of decorations and different color icings they have a blast and no matter what these people look a thousand times better than the television ones cause these are done with love by the little hands of these cuties.
