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. Winner will be notified by email.
Update: Thanks to all who entered! Congrats to our winner, SheSpeaks member peter26.

My favorite holiday tradition that we do every Thanksgiving and/or Christmas is our holiday cook off! It's a fun way for my big family to come together and show off our cooking skills ❤️

We watch football every year. The family also makes. Delicious food. Every year. As of recently my darling grandmother passed away.. So its a new tradition we take her flowers on special holidays. We loved her so much we still do obviously.

My favorite holiday tradition is playing various games with my friends and family during the holidays. My favorites are board games on Easter, left right game on Christmas, and a new gsmr every Thanksgiving!

I'm a SIDS mother, and my daughter is resting in a beautiful, multiacre garden and topiary walk. Every year, they light a million lights and have a candlelit service outdoors (we're in Florida), and it is so beautiful, it renews my holiday spirit and helps me to focus on not just living, but being alive.
