Maybe just the turkey at Christmas or wedding traditions. May be a family one personal to yourselves or just to where you live?

Is/Are there any tradition(s) you'd hate to die out?


And yes, inspired by Kate and Will not going on honeymoon. Well, not yet anyway.....

The family eating breakfast and dinner around the dining room table. I don't believe in TV dinners unless it is the very odd occasion

When I lived at home we usually ate in the living room, but on a sunday ate at the table...

I dont really see the need for it with just me and gav

Same, we were never allowed. I like that tradition though, it means the family all have to sit around the table and talk as opposed to watch TV. It's the one time of the day that the family come together properly.

My family only ever eat the table at Christmas, we all usually eat at different times and eat different things. But we talk loads during the day so I suppose that's the main point really.

We only eat once or maybe twice a week around the table although that's mainly because we're rarely all in the house when it's around dinner time, my parents normally eat together but I'll often just make myself something at a different time and sit on the couch and eat

I can't imagine that. When I have a family I will make them all sit around the table and we will eat at the same time. :hugesmile:

We always used to eat all together but now my mums always out (father doesn't live at home anymore) and its just me and my little sister (other sister at boarding school) so not really anymore.

The Christmas thing for me, being at Uni I see little of Family, and at Christmas it's a big get together,not for presents etc but for lots more than just talking too, being part of all that goes on, the atmosphere,the food,eating together,daft games, no clock watching and hurrying here and there,everyone involved in all that goes on, then the evening with a fair amount of family staying over for a day or two more.

I hope that tradition stays in the main,it's a togetherness you cannot put a value to,its priceless.

I love Christmas traditions :)

December 25 means my brother's birthday - it is traditional to go get wasted on vintage champagne at his house wearing the soccer tops from other continents we've probably exchanged as gifts. Good tradition

I agree with eating round the table, also a fry on a Sunday morning is one of ours that I love
