It's February 1st today and even though I am 41 years old, my dad still texts all my siblings and I "Rabbits Rabbits Rabbits" every first of the month, first thing in the am. It's a tiny thing, but it means so much.
I love this Julia. When I was kid I had a thing about werewolves and my father would howl at the moon when I was older and less freaked out about them. Well well into adulthood my father would call me and howl during a full moon.
Growing up one of our odd traditions was that on the morning of your birthday you sat on a chair stacked with cushions so you were the highest in the room while opening your presents ! I’m number 5 of 6 kids and still have no idea how this started!
My kids are still so young so we’re just seeing what sticks at this point, but this last Christmas we had so much fun started to create some Christmas traditions for our little family.
Pup cups after our long Saturday hikes. Now, I know our family consists of furry children. But I assure you, those pup cups are as anticipated as any ice cream cone out there. If it's an annual tradition you prefer, then I'll go with screaming the wrong words to Christmas carols out the car window while driving through the Berkeley hills with my siblings on Christmas eve. Yeah, it's as weird as it seems.

It's so fun to see what emerges.

All family traditions welcome, including furry family. I can vouch that weird traditions are the best traditions :)
