What have you decided to continue as a tradition?

[the_bob_delusion]

MARTIN and Mike Gray have sat on Santa's lap every year for the last 30 years as part of a family Christmas tradition they haven't given up.

As toddlers, teenagers and now fathers, Martin and Mike have continued the tradition together.

The brothers, from Massachusetts in the US, aged 30 and 34 now, said they get stared at, but they love doing it.

I actually like this story. There's a few things I continue to do simply it's just become a tradition not to. 

WHat's a tradition that you've continued simply because it's become a novelty or something you decided you have to keep doing it so the tradition doesn't end.

A couple of things.

1) My sons insist that any gifts that can be worn must be put on immediately. And if there is more than one they all have to go on, one on top of the other.

2) Corny jokes MUST be told around the Christmas table. We all save them up all year in preparation.

To put a bauble with a name on it on the Xmas tree, every year there is another one added which makws me very happy.

I love the story too.

Mine isn't a Christmas one but on my brother-in-law's birthday back in 1987 I gave him a card that said on the front "Happy Birthday and you've never looked better"

On the inside it says "p.s. Save this card and send it to me on my birthday".

So they did!  This tatty old card has been going backwards and forwards between us for 26 years now.

Hahaha the card!
I remember when the first page had to be added!
I can't believe it's still going!

Still going Mugs but it is kind of sticky taped together now

Again not about Xmas but I gave my OH a card shaped like a "remote control" for his birthday and said it was from the one he loves.

He is still laughing

To consume my annual quota of champagne (1 bottle) starting at midnight on New Years Eve, and to watch the sunrise on the first day of the new year. That has developed into a tradition over the years and one that I intend to continue.

Any takers to keep me company on CS that day?

Every one is welcome
