I love the stories behind some of those traditions. Something that first seemed unimportant escalated into a whole tradition. And it's called a tradition for a reason! Just imagine, some of those might exist for a few more centuries to come! God knows what legends would be made about the creation of those traditions! It would be weird, don't you think?

Our Christmas Tradition is that every year my grandma hides a nail in the tree like the nail Jesus was hung on the cross by and there is always a competition to see who can find it first though no reward. The only reward is bragging rights. Quite fun love it lots. Oh we also go on a scavenger hunt around the entire town and sometimes out side of town it's a lot of fun
