Holiday Traditions
I love holiday traditions. I love the old ones. I love making new ones.
Some of my favorite Thanksgiving traditions are eating dinner with my mother's side of the family. All 60+ of us. Eating crackers and gravy (yes, together, I think it's a Pennsylvania Dutch tradition, but I'm not sure). Drinking homemade root beer. And lots of it. Ooh, and Christmas shopping. (Although I bailed on the early-morning Black Friday rush and ordered online this year.)
And a new tradition that I've started is the Thanksgiving skirt. I made one for last Thanksgiving and decided I wanted a new one for this Thanksgiving, so a new tradition was born.
It's the same pattern as the last skirt I made. I was determined to make one that fit. I cut off about six inches total, and it's still a little big. But, it fits much better.
And what makes it more special is that it was made 100% from my stash. The corduroy. The zipper. The thread. And the buttons. Now that's a tradition I like.

Homemade root beer??? I know nothing about this. Maybe I need to.
I was thinking about you on black Friday wondering if you were braving the crowds. Good idea to online shop instead!
My favorite Thanksgiving traditions:
Birthday cake and pie for dessert! (I was born on Thanksgiving Day)
Pie for breakfast for as long as it lasts!
I love it. Especially with the stripey tights. Go, you.
Sounds like a happy holiday. xoxo
My favourite holiday tradition (because we dont have thanksgiving here in New Zealand) is taking the girls to the special christmas shop and all picking one ornament each to go on the tree. I love to get the wee ones all dressed up for this and make a day out of it!
Love your blog
