Holiday traditions?
When I was growing up (physically, anyway), everyone in our household played an instrument & every Christmas, before Christmas dinner, we'd all pull out our instruments & play Christmas carols together - my Dad & brother on coronets, my step-Mom on piano, my sister on violin & me on saxophone. Well, my Dad's passed on & my sister is up in Washington, but this year for the first time in several years, my step-Mom, brother & I got together on Christmas Day & renewed our family tradition of playing Christmas carols.
me warming up...
my nearly 89 year old step-Mom tickling the ivories...
all 3 of us jammin'... (my brother plays Native American flutes now, instead of coronet)
& my wife joining us for the big finale!
Anyway, just thought I'd share one of our family holiday traditions.
What's some of yours?

Wish I could say we had a tradition...My family did Midnight Mass on Christmas Eve and we all got to open one present to hold us over till the morning, My Mom cooked everything in sight (and very good too) and we ate everything in sight.

Hey there Retro Red!
It's nice to see someone playing a c-melody sax. Looks like a Buescher?
