Do you watch football every Thanksgiving? Does an elf sit on your shelf before Christmas? Or do you spin a dreidel on Chanukah? We all have our traditions to personalize the holidays and make them feel special.
But some traditions are more common than others. So we want to know... what holiday traditions do you follow each year? Tell us to win a $50 Etsy gift card and a Thanksgiving Thankful Tree Kit!
To get you started, here are some of the non-traditional traditions SheSpeaks staff members celebrate during the holidays:
A Thanksgiving Tree
We do a Thanksgiving Tree every year. Everyone gets leaves and they write what they are thankful for and then we hang them from branches that we collect together. It's very sweet. - Aliza Enter below to win your own Thanksgiving Thankful Tree Kit, plus a $50 Etsy gift card!
Years of Memories
Each kid gets a new ornament for our Christmas tree every year. We buy it from a store that has tons of ornaments - they even write their name and year on it.
My kids are now 21 and 16 so we have tons of them, everything from soccer, gymnastics and baseball to graduations and driving. - Missy
Cooking Experiments
Instead of gifts every night for Chanukah, we spend some nights doing activities with the kids, usually involving food and a giant mess. We've tried making sushi (a sticky-rice mess), fondue (a chocolate mess) and pasta (the biggest mess of all - flour was everywhere!) - Susan
A Christmas Pizza
We make homemade pizza on Christmas Eve, for every year of my life I can remember except one! We even make the crust from scratch and everyone picks their own toppings. Even my teenage son calls it "the best tradition ever." - Carol
New Year's Signature Cocktail for Two
My New Year's Eve tradition is to make a fancy dinner at home and skip the crowds. In addition to getting some decadent food, we try a new signature cocktail, candles & mood music so we can feel like we've transformed our house into a swanky restaurant. - Emily
What's your favorite holiday tradition? Tell us for the chance to win a $50 Etsy gift card and a Thanksgiving Thankful Tree!
*One lucky commenter, Tweeter or Instagrammer will be chosen at random to receive a $50 Etsy gift card and a Thanksgiving Thankful Tree (if the tree is sold out, the prize will instead be a $75 Etsy gift card.) Giveaway is open through November 25th, 2018 to U.S. residents at least 18 years of age. Entrants must be a member of SheSpeaks. If you are not a member, click here to join.

Baking bread from scratch

My favorite holiday tradition is Christmas Eve with my kiddos at my parents house. We go to the early Christmas Eve service,usually at 4pm. Then we return to their house for a huge spread of appetizers, sweet treats, and goodies. Once we are all full, we gather around and open presents, and laugh and have a great time until we are all so tired we can't stand it! Kids go to bed, adults have a glass of wine or two, then we all head to bed so we can start a great Christmas Day in the morning!!

Everyone makes a wish as the clock counts down on New Years. The tradition goes as follows : as the clock strikes 12 times, each person have to write down their wishes on tiny piece of paper, burn it and put it in the glass of champagne or whatever they are drinking. Everyone cheers and drink it up right at midnight. All the ashes or the leftover paper with it. Its a bit dangerous, but super super fun.
