I made two in the last week and both were gone within a day or two. It seems that Thanksgiving dinner is starting to be one here at our place though. We've hosted the last two years and I think I'll do it again, although this year I might start amassing decent decorations.Melodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05124636214096825169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2143843667296816868.post-19261879493386877352011-07-05T19:30:53.746-04:002011-07-05T19:30:53.746-04:00I like what you had to say about Christmas Eve.

My wife and I are childless, so after we married, we spent Christmas Eve with my family and Christmas Day with hers. My parents are long gone, but hers are still here. But even that tradition is changing as people age. Oh, and by the bye, I would definitely know if the crust were homemade or not. My wife and I still bake homemade pumpkin pies; she does the filling, and I roll out the crusts—homemade!Josephhttp://www.cft411.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2143843667296816868.post-81980845605617194212011-07-05T14:14:15.013-04:002011-07-05T14:14:15.013-04:00I like that tradition; well, both of them.

Every election previously (up until they were young teenagers at least) I took both of my kids with me every time I voted and talked to him about what was important before every election to let them see how much thought should go into the whole process. <br /><br />My son has been bugging me lately to pass on a new tradition and take him to donate blood. It's so great to see him be so excited about being an adult and taking up some of the responsibilities thereof. :) Makes me proud.Nimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12312747104116687193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2143843667296816868.post-78657909556705744122011-07-05T12:09:27.367-04:002011-07-05T12:09:27.367-04:00Thanks Joe!Thanks Joe!Paul Anaterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05777487147630173644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2143843667296816868.post-18372633178597901042011-07-05T12:01:59.743-04:002011-07-05T12:01:59.743-04:00Nice post Paul.

I have been taking my daughters to the polls with me since they were toddlers, and they get to do the physical voting process. It's been fun for them, especially since they get the "I Voted" stickers as well. My oldest daughter is now almost 16, so just two more years before I see if she carries on the family tradition.Joe Duselhttp://cft411.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2143843667296816868.post-82255466570517631792011-07-05T11:14:48.183-04:002011-07-05T11:14:48.183-04:00Thanks Leah!Thanks Leah!Paul Anaterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05777487147630173644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2143843667296816868.post-4369523994105421782011-07-05T10:42:51.238-04:002011-07-05T10:42:51.238-04:00Wonderful, Paul.

I love the juxtaposition of a tradition as broad and sweeping and culturally ingrained as that of Tevye and his family with that of you and your family: intimate and sweetly (not saccharinely) nostalgic. And what a great video!<br />Thanks for sharing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
