From ugly sweater parties to fruitcake bake-offs, everyone
has their own traditions and quirky ways to celebrate the season. We were curious to find out how Community
Financial team members enjoy the holidays.
We asked and here’s what they said:
We asked and here’s what they said:
“We hide a pickle ornament on our
tree. Whoever finds it gets a special
present.”
“We bury money outside on New Year’s
Eve saying ‘I bury my poverty’. On New Year’s
Day, we dig it up saying ‘I uncover my wealth’. You can’t spend it. It’s bad luck.”
“Every Christmas Eve the family
comes over and we make fondue.”
“We dance around the living room to
Snoopy vs. the Red Baron by the Royal Guardsmen.”
“We invite friends over and have an
ugly Christmas sweater contest.”
“We attend the annual Candlelight
service at our church.”
“We have a manger and the baby
Jesus is in box 24 of our advent calendar, signifying the greatest gift of all.”
“My dad makes the “Secret Potion” (hot
chocolate) for all of the kids to ensure they fall asleep before Santa arrives.”
“Each year, no matter how old the
kids may get, we get them matching Christmas pajamas to wear on Christmas Eve.
The teenagers claim they hate it, but they wear them all year!”
“Everyone from age 1 to 92 gets a
coloring book and crayons in their stocking.”
“I enjoy going to Christmas Eve
Mass with my Dad and Step-Mom that come in from Fremont (north of Grand Rapids)
and having a Polish Feast at my sister’s house.
Then, it’s off to my house to watch the children open their PJ’s and a Christmas
Eve gift with Grandma and Grandpa.”
However you choose to celebrate the holiday, may it be
filled with good tidings, peace and joy.
Happy Holidays from all of us at Community Financial!
