[quote=Anonymous]Most of ours are holiday based as well.

We go to my hometown every July 4th and go to the same parade and stand in the same place that I did as a kid. Even if my parents pass away, we will likely still do this.

On Christmas mornings the kids get to come into bed with me while their dad goes downstairs and “checks” to make sure Santa came (really turning the tree and lifts on, getting the camera ready). We use the same advent calendar I had as a kid.

Valentines Day, I always put a little something out for the kids at their place at the breakfast table (this year was crystal growing kits).

Friday night is always pizza night (except now during lent as my husband prefers not to eat pizza without meat, which drives me nuts!).

On Thanksgiving we always watch the Macy’s parade, followed by the kennel club show. The kids know to call me in from the kitchen when Santa is about to arrive (my favorite part of the parade!).

Every night at dinner each person tells one kind thing they did that day, then tells us about their day.

I’m sure we have other things, but those spring to mind as things my kids mention even when they aren’t happening. Like, it will be February and one of them will say “I can’t wait for July 4th. Will the nature center have snakes in the parade this year? Do you think Uncle John got good fireworks?” etc.
