What’s the strangest family tradition in your family?
It might be strange, but we loved it:
When we were kids, Saturday night dinner was always popcorn and chocolate ice cream. It was the only time we got to have soda, too.
I don't know how strange it is but growing up we always had oyster stew and sloppy Joe's on Christmas eve.
I have no idea where it came from.
Cold Oatmeal with milk
shareWeird.
That was our Easter dinner!
It wasn't a holiday tradition, it was every morning, cold oatmeal\milk\white sugar.
An old Italian tradition, I guess
Give me a scoop of Spumoni on top and I'm totally in.
I remember eating a lot of cold oatmeal when I was a kid too.
Now I think "really mom, you couldn't serve it warm?"
Sunday's would be the hot oatmeal\water\brown sugar.
But weekdays, cereal or oatmeal after watching Hercules (cartoon) before school
That is a rather un-traditional Christmas Eve dinner.
shareOn Christmas we went all out.
We always had turkey and ham. I think the ham was for me because Christmas was my birthday
and ham was/is my favorite.
I never asked why oysters and Sloppy Joes!
Somewhere in there I think we had Lutefisk too.
