We have many traditions, but one my husband brought into the marriage was making dried sweet corn on Thanksgiving. One family tradition we are doing with our daughter is Friday night movie night.

That's cool. I've never heard of dried sweet corn, you might have to send me the recipe. I love the idea of movie night.

Very cool. Our family tradition is Oyster Stew on Christmas Eve. It's been a tradition since my great-great grandparents. Might have been before that, but I'm not sure. For the past 5 years, I've been the one to make it, but I'm teaching my daughter how as she's next in line.

Making sauce, it's a great way to get together.

Aruging seems to be a family tradition in my family... I decided to break with tradition.

Good for you. Arguing only causes ulcers.
