Who else has not so traditional Holiday traditions?

[Nevilledog]

Here's our normal Christmas routine at my folk's house. All of us wake up kinda late, my mom makes this yummy breakfast quiche with sausage and green chili. We give my parents and sister money, they give us money (during the transfer of money we drink Mimosas). My Dad hides the money for my sister, my hubby and me around the house and give us riddles we have to decipher in order to find it. Oh yeah, sister and I are in our early 40's, but he's been doing this since we were young. There are no little ones in our family.

Then we all go to a casino. When we get a hand pay it mean Baby Jesus loves us.

Anybody else have any weird "traditions"?

1. Kinda

but this applies to Thanksgiving. We always have Turkey Tacos and Cranberry Salsa. Borderline traditional so to speak.

2. Turkey Tacos.....sounds interesting.

Even if we go to someone else's house for Thanksgiving we always cook up a 10 lb turkey for ourselves. Then we have what we call "little slices of heaven" for the next several days.

Little Slices of Heaven

Turkey
Brown and serve buns
Salt
Mayonaise

Slice warm buns in the middle, stuff in turkey, sprinkle with salt and top off with mayonaise. Yum.

This year we even made Tortilla soup, but with turkey instead of chicken..it was quite good.

3. That sounds excellent

What's the recipe for both? I'd be interesting in starting a new non-tradition tradition.

4. That is AWESOME.

Ours are all pretty standard, except we always have ham and spinach on Christmas Eve (Hungarian thing).

5. No spinach here...but we do have Oyster Stew Xmas Eve.

It's a big pot of milk, butter and oysters...with lots of oyster crackers on my part. Not sure where that one started but the folks used to do it in Minnesota.
