Morrison Traditions

Every family has their own traditions, some of them big, some of them small. A good amount of Morrison family traditions center around food. For example for our family games night it is not a true family games night unless everyone has their favorite munchies, some chips and pops, mix that with games and our family each with our own sense of humour and how can we not have a good time?

With Christmas around the corner there are even more traditions. My mom will most likely make her famous caramel corn which we shall all enjoy snacking on.This tradition usually centered around decorating the Christmas tree although this year with 3 daughters away from home my mom took on the task of getting the house ready for Christmas. Christmas cookies have and will be made and eaten. and then, one of my favorite food/family tradition is Christmas Eve. Right before we head out to Christmas Eve service the family works together to prepare and appetizers night with fruit, crakers, cheese, and veggie platter, along with mini sausages and other little treats. Every year we say we will cut back on the snacks that night, but just like with our presents (about which we say we will only be getting a few of), it never seems to really change from year to year. Of course when we come back home we gather around in our Christmas clothes and feast, laugh about the year and enjoy each others company. Victoria and I, as the youngest, usually get to open one present and then late at night we continue to snack as the two of us snuggle up and watch a movie until we fall asleep only to wake up several hours later to Christmas morning which always contains candie in our stockings, Captain Crunch Cereal and hopefully homemade cinnamon buns.

These are just a few of our family traditions and now I shall go and indulge myself in one that my sister and I used to share...juice (or pop), several pieces of pizza and a good movie?

So what are some of your family traditions related to food?
