Do you guys have family traditions, like parents that play the tooth fairy for their children when they loose a tooth or something that is influenced by maybe the country of your origin?

My mother's family has something called a Santa Box. Every year, someone writes a poem and buys a Santa Claus ornament. On Christmas, they read the poem, then put the ornament in the box and hands it to the next person. Last year it was me. I wrote an acrostic poem. Like this one:

Actually, every Sunday, my Father would cook the greatest sausage and biscuits, and then we would go to the drug store and I got to buy a comic book, and then we would play Putt-Putt.
EVERY SINGLE Sunday, and it was something I knew I could count on, and totally looked forward to.
I think in the about six years we palyed golf, I won maybe four times.
Fat bastard should have given me a handicap!
Just kidding, Dad, thanks and god rest your soul.

Sausage and biscuits or biscuits and sausage gravy? ¿My dad, and now I, make a mean biscuits and gravy! ¿Very important breakfast staple in this part of the country. ¿You know, the fat and unhealthy part. ¿

I have one. I work in retail so i work right up to closing at Christmas Eve, bascially all i get for Xmas is 3 days if im lucky so my Christmas break sucks. So, i hate the build up to Xmas, but after i've finished work, i'd go to the pub with a few of the Colleagues/Managers and have a few. While at home my Boys were waiting pateintly as they weren't allowed any Christmas food, treats til i got home. I roll in and say 'Right, Christmas starts here'. And there would be a mad rush as the boys would raid the Kitchen, and eat EVERYTHING!!!! ¿ There a bit old for it now but i still do it but they still wait for me too say it, just humouring an old man

It seems that the big tradition in our family at the moment is "try to get Beccs back in the church!"
I'm the evil heathen because I gave up religion.

You could say, "I'll compromise with you. I'll go back to church as you ask, with a torch." That should stop the requests for a while. They wearing you down any?

Nope. Hardening my resolve, if anything. Mentioning eternal punishment is NOT a good way to promote your religion.
