I was reading an article today about how four different food traditions were started. It reminded me of one from my own childhood.
Sometime in the early 60's, my Dad and his siblings were sitting around playing games and snacking. They had made popcorn then made a batch of fudge, but the fudge did not set up. Sitting around talking and playing, someone started dipping the popcorn in the fudge, and thus a new tradition was born. Every year after that my Grandmother would send every one of her kids and their families a large box of chocolate covered popcorn. Almost all of the kids moved away from Chinook, MT over the years, but us grand kids could always count on that large box of popcorn arriving the first part of December every year. I miss that treat even today some 40 years later.
What sort of traditions do you remember or still have?
