We have tons of holiday traditions in my family...baking certain cookies at Christmas, watching football on Thanksgiving (and the day after,) having a children's egg hunt at Easter. One of my favorite childhood memories from south Louisiana was dressing in costume for Mardi Gras and having a family picnic on Main Street before the parade arrived. Since I'm in Texas now, I can't keep that one going. I am thinking about tamales on Christmas Eve, though. <br /><br />Congrats on the book!<br />LSUReaderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10551147044529756940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8575273532904617281.post-66394569231326788642013-09-26T21:52:42.304-04:002013-09-26T21:52:42.304-04:00It's never too late to start some new traditio...It's never too late to start some new traditions. One we started in just the last five years is to have tamales for dinner on Christmas Eve. I'm from Texas, so we can get them here! Tamales on Christmas Eve is a tradition for lots of people, but it's something we've only recently taken up. (By the way, there are no tamales in Never Desire a Duke! :D )Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00035078466364267680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8575273532904617281.post-34026842011918747922013-09-26T15:33:19.313-04:002013-09-26T15:33:19.313-04:00I'm really sad to say that we have no traditio...I'm really sad to say that we have no traditions.

Thanksgiving and Christmas being the best.

Growing up those would be looking for Easter eggs in the garden, or the advent calender as Christmas time came close. Now it's more like baking a st Michaels day bread, or making pumpkinsoup for Halloween.

And, I would love to read "Never Desire a Duke".<br /><br />Our Christmas tradition is to get together with our kids, and their families. I like us to have a traditional English Christmas dinner, which is Turkey and all the trimmings, along with roast potatoes, mash potatoes, two vegetables, cranberry sauce, and we also have Yorkshire puddings, and gravy. For pudding, we have Christmas pudding and Brandy Sauce and Fresh Cream Trifle.<br /><br />Diane D - Floridahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09257503725180545601noreply@blogger.com
