My husband was making canned biscuits and I asked him to make mine in the shape of a little man. My mom used to let me do that when I was little. Apparently, Tim had never heard of such a thing. He did a good job, though. #Geneadons #Genealogy #FamilyTraditions

Hello #Fediverse! Last 7k of the year before spending the day doing year’s end deep house cleaning 🧹 😉🤘🏻

Luminarias are placed and lit, on our little balcony. Not taking any chances on Santa missing our new place, right?

Here are the christmas cookie recipes mom made this year. Starting with her mom’s spiced oatmeal “raisin“ cookies. (Which have both raisins and dates.) Best oatmeal raisin cookie you’ll ever have IMO. #holiday #food #familytraditions #cookies

i have a love/hate relationship with my uncle. however we each send each other text messages 3 times a year. each on our birthdays and today, being the high holy holiday of Festivus. His text came in from a satellite phone in the middle of the ocean #FamilyTraditions #Seinfeld

Today I wrapped the Stocking stuffers up and made mince pies. I know understand why Santa always gave us office stuff mixed in with gifts. Small, useful and easy to wrap. I also made mince pies. It is hitting me that I’m an adult! Only been a Mom for 7 years and am almost 50, but geez, it’s hitting all the feels! #familyTraditions #Christmas #adulting #Santa #cooking

This decorative glass peacock was given to me when I was just a few months old 70 years ago, has survived 8 house moves & gets pride of place at top of tree every year. #Christmas #FamilyTraditions #ChristmasTree

It's beginning to look somewhat like Christmas...

We picked up our reserved tree today from the Christmas tree farm that is only 2.5 miles away (very convenient!). We've gotten our trees there for the past 20 years, and it's a nice tradition to wander the beautiful property in the Fall to choose a tree, and then pick it up in December. In a day or two, we'll bring it in and commence with the decorating (we're not early Christmas Tree people).

This was to be a morning of report writing but grand-nephew’s nursery closed due to staff sickness so now watching Spanish cartoons with him before we make shortbread. #NextGeneration #FamilyTraditions

Christina and I discussed our own families Christmas traditions along with articles from Trove about Australian Christmases past.

We discovered a lot of complaints and even more jelly.

Whole fam has RSV. We’re recovering but have missed a lot of holiday activities and still don’t want to go in public.
Got in our pjs, made plates of homemade pizza, piled in the car and went to look at lights.
Lots of giggles, dad jokes, and that stupid lingering cough.

Now listening to my parents’ CD of Deutsche Weihnachtslieder for the first time and it sounds remarkably like the record we listened to as children. #Adventszeit #FamilyTraditions #Weihnachtslieder

For the First Sunday of Advent we’re listening to Voices At The Door - Midwinter Songs And Carols (2006, CD) with Coope Boyes & Simpson With Jo Freya, Fi Fraser And Georgina Boyes by candlelight.

My sister and I are 45 and 49 respectively. Every year she tries to pin me to the ground. Most years she fails. This year I was strong enough to hold her off and snap this picture. She’s not on Mastodon, so I feel free to post. Haha sister! I love you, and you will never pin me, babe! #FamilyTraditions #Sisters

From scratch pancakes and a hot chocolate sauce. A Davis Tradition over 50 years old and still going. My Dad's recipe, made by me (his oldest), for my wife and 5 year old. And hopefully, when my daughter grows older, she will use this same recipe for her significant other and children for another 50 years plus. I miss you Dad. #MenWhoCook #FamilyTraditions #HolidaySeason #DeanMartinXmasMusic #DeanMartin #HappyHolidaysToAll

#FamilyHistory My friend Nancy wrote a heart-warming column about how #FamilyTraditions get passed from one generation to the next...how she's doing that with her grandson on this #Thanksgiving - please read if you have a moment: https://eastoncourier.news/2022/11/20/jp-edited-jim-to-add-pie-fi-if-time-allowscolumnpassing-thanksgiving-traditions-to-a-new-generation/?fbclid=IwAR3z-E2Phe-QTfTwXguInzzzBgtlBDOr70hz6FBwrtGgedwp3yCvBkQeCao

Every Thanksgiving my family makes me the butt of the same old joke
