Art journal week 49: Tradition

Just a quick one before my next lot of visitors arrive.

Week 49 of the ukstampers challenge is about Tradition
  •   Do you have any [particular festive traditions?  If you do have they been passed down or have you started them yourself?
  •   Are there traditional things you particularly like or dislike?
  •   Include some traditional festive stamped images on your page.
We do like to have a fairly traditional dinner at Christmas but I would much rather have a goose or duck than a turkey.  Mum and dad used to host the boxing day bash but that has now passed on to me which I really enjoy (even more than Christmas day).  One of the best things about Christmas is the festive cooking!  I love the traditional Christmas spices in things like the mincemeat, mulled wine and Christmas cake but I do prefer a clootie dumpling than a Christmas cake.  Dad used alway get cigars or pipe tobacco as gifts so these smells remind me of Christmas but he doesn't smoke anymore and I have even been known to smoke a cigar just to get that smell and Christmas-past memory.
