What is your most cherished family tradition?

We sing “Hurrah for the fun, the turkey’s done, deedle-de-de-de-de” (because no one in the family knows the rest of the lyrics) before Thanksgiving dinner. The funny thing is that now it has become a tradition to impulsively break into the song before any meal to declare an instant family holiday. It’s our silly little inside joke, but it never fails to make us laugh.
