This week’s question:  It’s the holidays! Do you have a favorite holiday tradition or is there one you want to start?

We have 2.
First, Christmas Eve is our biggest tradition.  Catholic Italians, which I am one of, have a tradition of serving a dinner with a variety of 7 fishes.  For 24 years we invited immediate family and friends for a sit down dinner with many courses (I haven’t done it for a few years, but sure miss doing it, because of my back..it would take 2 days to prepare).  Then around 10pm, many types of desserts would be put out and we would host an open house until the wee hours of Christmas morning.

And another tradition we started, when friends gave us a dated Hallmark Christmas Ornament, the first year we were married.  Since then we get one for every year we have been married, some of the special ones are for the year our boys were born.  The ornaments were of a crib and the other, a crib mobile.  We will have 29 this Christmas.  I can’t wait to start the tradition when my boys get married.  It is fun and nostalgic, unwrapping each ornament, seeing the date and reminiscing of memories for that year.

This week’s question:  Tell everyone a little bit about your favorite Birthday
Read more: http://www.theresabook.com/#ixzz168lGsF7E

Yes…I know…what am I thinking, but, my 50th was very special.  It was a combo celebration spent with the favorite people in my life.  Not only did we celebrate my bday but 3 days later, it was our 25th wedding anniversary.   Hubby and I rented a limo, made dinner reservations at a fancy smancy restaurant, that was an hour away in Boston, a table for 6.   Hubby, myself, and our 2 sons and their gfs all went out for a night on the town.  We were all dressed in formal attire.  One son surprised us with CDs he made of songs from the year we were married, for the hour’s ride .  We sang and were silly on our way to the restaurant.   And yes, I will admit, since we were all of the legal age to drink, we toasted to a wonderful celebration.  The dinner was fabulous.  And on our way home, we made one more stop.  We surprised the kids and went to the top of the Prudential Center and had an after dinner drink on the 52nd floor, overlooking all of Boston, absolutely beautiful !!!  And then continued our silliness and singing for the ride home.  It was a wonderful night that I will never forget.
