On another forum I ran across a thread on traditions and how they may have started.
I'm sharing this one cause it just cracked me up-feel free to add your holiday tradition stories
"When cooking the Easter Ham, Ma would always cut a part off and cook it in an other pot. After many years in the service, I came home and at Easter diner I asked Ma if she had cooked the ham in 2 pots and she said she had.
I asked why and she she that her Mother had always done so. Well Grandma was sitting at the table there so I asked her why she cut the ham into 2 pieces and cooked it in 2 different pots, to which she said her Mother had also done it that way.
Great Grandma was also at the table that year, unfortunately , we lost her the next year, but I asked her why she cut the Easter ham into 2 pieces and cooked in 2 different pots, to which she said in a shaky broken voice, ..."Because Sweet Boy....I didn't have a pot big nuff fer it to fit in." My Grandma and Ma looked at each other and bust out laughing !"
and that's that
