Family Traditions

As I was contemplating some of the traditions we have in our family, I realized how they truly do bind families together. It is that special something that makes each family unique. In our family, during a designated time on Christmas Eve, the cousins all run down my parents hallway and out the door to see if Santa has come They are joined by their parents, aunts, uncles, and grandparents who line the hallway banging pots and pans. This is tradition that was brought over by my German great-grandparents. We have done it every Christmas Eve that I remember.
On birthday's we used to hide the kids presents under our bed, and then when it was time to open them, everyone jumped up on our bed and the siblings would take turns bringing a presents out from under the bed. This is another tradition I adopted from my growing up years.
A tradition I started about 10 years ago is "dinner-in-a-pumpkin" on Halloween....Initially no one wanted to eat the yummy stew-like substance I cooked into a real pumpkin, but now if I say I'm not cooking dinner in a pumpkin on Halloween....I receive death threats! (J/K)
Anyway.....I was wondering if you guys have some traditions that you would like to share.
Or traditions that you have been thinking of starting.
