What’s Your Tradition?

Just about every family has one.  A Christmas tradition or two, that no matter what, you have to keep it going.  Maybe the pickle on the tree, or how gifts are wrapped.  I know for me, one that makes no sense but it has to happen.  Brown gravy on the table for the big feast.  And it can’t be just any brown gravy, it has to be from one of those McCormick packs.  Don’t make homemade gravy, and I don’t care if it’s really eaten or not, the gravy though has to be on the table, every, single, Christmas.  So what’s yours?  I saw this story from Japan that I could get behind.  Evidently, in Japan one of their Christmas traditions, eating KFC.  Yeah, Kentucky Fried Chicken is a tradition in Japan.  Who knew?  I wonder when the colonel came up with his 11 herbs and spices did he even envision how his chicken would impact the world?

 

Anyway, click here for a cool read and maybe eat some KFC for Christmas at your house too.
