My brother's family and I have Peking duck and other Chinese food to carry on the tradition we had with our mom ( she died in 2001). We used to gather together and celebrate Christmas Eve eating my mom's favorite Peking duck while she was alive.

That sounds like a lovely family tradition.

I look forward to watching the Thanksgiving parade every year. I would get up before everyone else and watch an hour by myself. I'd make pancakes for the family and they'd watch the rest with me. Happily, I've carried over the tradition to my daughter, except we opt for Pillsbury cinnamon rolls instead. Happy Holidays!

I love the Thanksgiving parade too! And the dog show that's on in the evening.

Happy Holidays to you and yours!

I try to hold up the tradition of Christmas baking and make all the cookies my mom made when growing up. But, it doesn't always happen. The one thing that has continued is our Christmas Eve seafood dinner. My brother continues this, even when we visit between Christmas and New Year's, like this year. Merry Christmas!
