We never were big ones for traditional things growing up, except for observing Sinterklaas (Dutch, December 6) and making taai-taai (trans. "tough-tough"; a Dutch honey cake with anise) and pepernoten (pepper nuts; a hard little cookie with a story).
The past few years we've simply tried to get together at Thanksgiving and/or Christmas, which is no mean feat with five siblings, their spouses and kids, plus one or more parental units :) We usually do Secret Santa between the siblings/spouses, so I guess that could be a tradition!
This is my Sweet Pea's first year of holidays, so we'll see what things end up becoming a tradition in our own little family. I'm excited!
What traditions did you start when your kids were little?
