We used to have some nice holiday traditions when I was younger, but with age comes the wish to not be around family (teenagers, huh?). But I'd still like to have some nice traditions, and here in this post I'd like make a list.
New Year's: The first tradition of the year! I'd like to watch fireworks (and not just on the news this time!), eat chicken wings (I'm not a big fan, but if they're boneless I'll indulge occasionally), and umm... I can't think up any good ones. Go to Red Lobster maybe? That'll do.
Valentines Day: If I am lucky enough to have a Valentine, we'd just exchange goodies and get on with it. I don't mind Valentines day, and I don't know why people don't like the holiday. It's a great day to celebrate a couple's relationship, but yes, they should celebrate it everyday, anyway. I just like the festivity. If I am alone, I'd buy myself a pack of heart lollipops and eat the entire bag before 8:00 pm. Then, I'd buy a chocolate bar and microwave it, then have a dip for my lollipops! ^*^
Easter: Two days before we'll dye Easter eggs and make hard-boiled eggs. I'll wake up on Easter day, go to church, and during church I'll eat a bunch of Dubble Bubble gum (the one that runs out of flavor extremely fast). When we're driving home we'll stop at QuickTrip or 7/11 (my local gas stations) and I'll get a coca-cola slushy, a mini Andes mint, some mint M&M's, Trident bubble gum, and cotton candy. We'll go home, open Easter baskets, then go to my mother's cousin's house for dinner.
4th of July: Watch fireworks, of course, then eat some barbecue, maybe go to a restaurant. But we may not go out to dinner because the next day is my sister's and my birthday. We aren't twins, we were born 2 years apart on July 5th, the same day, unplanned by my mother. My sister is older. Anyway, that's all the traditions I can think of for this holiday.
Halloween: For Halloween I'll dress up in my panda costume, take pictures, hand out candy to children, have a Halloween party a couple days before, drink a bunch of Monster energy drink (Monster- ha, get it?), and then eat all the candy I want.
Thanksgiving: Before Thanksgiving, I'd like to go horse-backriding and going to a pumpkin patch/ apple orchard and also buy fudge at the store. On Thanksgiving day we'll go to my mother's cousin's house at about 4:00 pm for dinner, eat plenty of pumpkin pie, then after that we'll go Black Friday shopping. We'll also decorate our house in the loveliest autumn decorations we have. The scent I'll associate this holiday with is pumpkin, especially the fragrances at Bath and Body Works! <3 mmmm!
Christmas: My favorite holiday. The festiveness, the lovely little decorations, the B&BW fragrances, the chill in the air, the snow, the religiousness, the cinnamon buns on Christmas morning, the intricate ornaments, garland, and lights we adorn our houses with, the yummy hot chocolate, the comfort of warm clothes! Ahh... I love Christmas. Surprised I didn't say the presents? I feel extremely shy and greedy when I open presents. I hate opening presents, really. Of course I love receiving a nice gift now and then, but then on Christmas (oh, AND my birthday, as well) when there's a plethora of presents, bring on the shyness! Anyway, the traditions I'd like to initiate this holiday are the following: I'd like to go to _____ (I would not want to give away my location), which is a place with cute little shops consisting of little boutiques, cute little candle stores, knick-knack stores, a candy store, hot chocolate store, kettle corn stand with cookies, a tea shop, etc. There are also some nice little restaurants. There are carolers, a santa clause man, and snow on the ground. It's quite fun! Plus, I want to go to Barnes&Noble bookstore! I'd also like to eat cinnamon buns, drink hot chocolate, open presents, and watch holiday movies. Then I'll play in the snow if we have any this season. Honestly, my state has the strangest weather.
So those are my traditions, I hope you'll tell me yours!
Have a nice night!
