Thanksgiving is coming for those of us in America, and the Holiday season'll be close behind. So I decided to create this thread for you all to share your favorite holiday traditions. They can be things you do with family, shows you watch, whatever makes the Holidays the Holidays for you. So I'll start us off.
Thanksgiving is about the Macy's Holiday Parade and Football, ever since I was a little Sentai. And, of course, A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving. Then Christmas comes and so much.. Rudolph, and Frosty, and Mickey's a Christmas Carol, and so many others. And then New Years and the Tournament of Roses Parade. Family.. not so much. We don't get along with much of my mom's side of the family and that's all that's here. But that's fine. We get along great by ourselves. |

For my family, it was always about the Parade in the morning, going out together to see a movie, (this year, we're seeing Catching Fire. It's the last violent movie for awhile since one of my sisters is due by January, and we'll be seeing cartoon movies more regularly on Thanksgiving for awhile. ) having dinner, and making mashed potato snowmen...before eating them.

Dedicated to my art and design courses. Need to finish some projects, some papers for the extra credit, and tons of study for the finals.

Not to put a downer on anything or whatever but my holidays changed a lot when my Mum died. We don't have thanksgiving in the UK, not that that matters because the shops get in the Christmas spirit at like the start of October. When my Mum was alive, we were pretty much in Christmas mode then as well. My Mum LOVED the lead up to Christmas, the decorations, the music, the holiday spirit. She used to make it my favourite time of year.
Now she's gone, the whole Christmas build up thing is basically gone, and Christmas has just sort of become a day where my Dad can justify buying me something he couldn't any other time of the year. Yeah I don't really care much for Christmas any more.

I think Black Friday has turned from "Buy gifts for family and friends." to "Buy that for your self because it's cheap and you'll never get it at that price later."

Halloween isn't even really a thing in the UK, sure shops decorate themselves and cinemas might put on a horror classic, but it's pretty much been and gone within a week. With Christmas often starting before it and far out living it.
