Family traditions
My family doesn't exactly have any tradition, other then eating dinner on the holidays, and also going to church at night. We do that for just about every big holiday; Easter, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and that's it. We always go to church on these hoidays and then when we getout of church, which is always late, at least twelve o'clock or so, thats when we go home and eat dinner. On easter we get together with my god parents and go to church because my god father is the preist at Assumption church in grosse point. Im greek orthodox so when we fast we cant have dairy or meat for forty days andforty nights, not just on certain days either it's every day. So the whole week leading up to easter we go to church morning and night and between that time my family and my god family goes to Mcdonalds and orders like a million orders of large fries, because it's just about the only thing we can eat from there. Then easter night we get out of church at like three O'clock, and go eat dinner at my Nouna's house (god mother). Easter is probably my favorite holiday just because of this and every one always seems to be in such a good mood all week. Christmas time in my house is'nt as extravagent as it seems to be for other familes, because my family just goes to church Christmas Eve night and then come home and oen a single gift then go to bed, this year was different because I got mad at my parents and left, on christmas eve, they werent to pleased with me the next morning! I stayed a really good friends house though were basically family so their parents didnt mind me staying there. New years eve in my house hold isnt anything special we all seem to do our own thing.
