What are some unique or quirky things you do in the Holidays every year as a tradition? Mine is getting Chinese food every New Year’s eve.

Love that but I'm not sure how quirky it is, seems like ordering take out Chinese is kind of standard American tradition. But still love it! We always do a boozy Christmas brunch with my husband's family.. also not sure how quirky it is but it's a good time to pull out the prosecco and enjoy the morning while the kids open presents

Thanks for sharing!

We usually spend New Year's Eve as a quiet family gathering at home. The one odd traditional thing we do is have pickled herring at midnight. I guess it's not totally uncommon, as stores advertise it this week (I picked a jar of it yesterday). We also have cheese and crackers, pretzels, chips, the usual party type food.

We always do mimosas on New Years Day. But I wouldn’t consider it quirky.

Oh, I love me some good Chinese food don’t we tell you that. Honestly, none of my traditions from childhood have survived and I haven’t started any so it’s unique this year. It looks like I’ll be spending New Year’s Eve alone so maybe I’ll try the Chinese food thing.

That's really fun and unique. I don't have any traditions over the holidays. I may need to start some.
