Birthday Party Tradition: The entire family sings “Happy Birthday” as loud and off key as possible.  It has become such a tradition that friends and neighbours have invited our family to their houses just to sing.

We always eat rice pudding on Christmas Eve.  One person’s bowl has an almond in it.  Whoever gets the almond gets the marzipan pig.

We always invite some less fortunate to dinner on Christmas Day.
For important hockey games we light up our crystal hockey player – whether the game is on TV or not.
