We have SO many family traditions. It seems that if you do something once (especially around a holiday) it becomes a must in years to come. Some of our favorites? Watching the Thanksgiving parade together while the kitchen fills with smells of the day... picking out a live Christmas tree of Black Friday... taking the train to view the Christmas lights in a nearby beach town on my husband's last day of work for the year...

Room for a "non-mom" to comment? Great post and great tradition. I agree, family traditions are so important. They build roots, security, foundation, and meaning. We have a number of them, but we never thought of Red Plates. But I think the idea is great.

Thanks for signing up for the book give-away. I have a chapter in there (the chapters are short) on family traditions. Have a great Thanksgiving. And check back WEd for the winners.

Oh Genny, this post warms my heart!

You must buy a third red plate so that when you have grandbabies (which, we know is a LONG way off!! :) But you'll have one to share the tradition with the next generation!

Monday HUGS!

One of our traditions is buying a Christmas ornament each year. There was one year I didn't bother and I still regret it because as we hang the ornaments on the tree there are those that represent my children, their first Christmas and other special occasions. Although my ex and I aren't together anymore I still hang "Our First Christmas Together" ornament. One day I'll tell the children we have together what that Christmas was like. Sometimes the ornaments bring up specific memories and sometimes they just make me smile.

We have two Red Plates, too! One for Parker and one for Faith. We typically use them for birthdays and serve them their piece of birthday cake on the special plate.

I think I'll blog about traditions today, too. Hope you stop over for a visit.
