The only tradition is every Friday night we order pizza. My parents were doing that since the day they got married. And everytime we don't have pizza on friday it feels weird. I dont know why.

I don't think my family has any major family traditions. Here in Australia there is only my Mum, Dad and Brother, the rest of the family is in Wales, maybe if we were there we'd have a few more traditions.
Anyways, the ones that we do have:
- Put the Christmas Tree up 12 days before Christmas
- Take the Christmas Tree down on New Years Eve
- Christmas Day used to be spent with people we met while we lived overseas, they live in Australia now too, but we didn't do that last year
- If I've got some time off Uni when my brother is usually at school I'll take my parents (usually my Mum) out for lunch
That's about it...

Most of my family traditions, I don't take part in anymore because I'm too old. Most of them have to do if you're a certain age or something. But here are a few:
1. Growing up, you were only allowed 3 birthday parties. The first two, we (my two sisters and I), got to pick what birthdays they were on, but the third had to be for our sweet sixteenth. But the first two had to be before the 16th. You weren't allowed to pick a birthday after your 16th.
2. Once you turn 13 years old, you do not get a stocking anymore at Christmas.
3. We treat valentines and easter just like christmas, in that we exchange gifts
