That sounds awesome:)))

The fact that your daughters are already/almost adults and they still love it is proof of how totally AWESOME this tradition is!

How sweet

My entire family of my mother's side hates my Father. This is just mean. I am only saying this because I know that if anyone finds out, your family will fall apart. Just like mine did.

this made me laugh way too hard hahahahahahaha

Fooled me, especially the toddler!

My husband tried to talk our daughter into pizza and beer this year. I told him Santa can't get caught with a fui (flying under the influence).

Those are some good boys who must really love their mom.

Cool, not dumb.

My sister would take a very cruel advantage of such tradition. And so would I.

Love the word game, so creative!

I think the best traditions start spontaneously.

Bwaahaha! Ok, this one's gotta be higher up on the list!

At least your cat won't knock it off

Does the Gingerbread family know they only have a week or so to live?

Wowe

Hell no

"Officer Schauf, our investigation into the dwindling supply of evidence bags has led directly to you."

Reminds me of a Thanksgiving with my ex in-laws. As we clasped hands standing around the coffee table, I looked down, and got tickled. The overhead view of that same pilgrim looked as if he were an aroused pilgrim. Try it sometime.

Oh, my family would totally do this!

Wonder if you ever tried a pure sugar one (They are Heaven!)

At least, it's not the petrified gnome in a tutu Fred and George used as a Christmas tree top (for those who don't get it, it's a moment from the Harry Potter books).

I think this one just shows how great your brother-in-law is

You can't say his name!

Dad's a clever so-and-so

"Oh, but they look happier than our actual family..."

That's not dumb, that's funny

That sounds like a nice tradition. In a competitive world, it's nice to see parents take a beat and acknowledge their children's milestones, whatever they may be...

That's a lot of candles
