tradition

I remember my very first Christmas as a single mom. Faith was 3 years old. I was quite nervous about how I was going to make this all work. It's a lot of work for any family to make sure all the presents are wrapped. Cookies and milk are set out for Santa. If you are extra on the ball you will leave carrots for the reindeer too.

Tamales are one of those foods I never ate growing up. I never even knew what a tamale was until I moved to Texas in the late eighties. Boy was I missing out.

I know it is not the outcome you anticipated. You pull out your turkey after it has been cooking all day. Regardless if you used the oven, the deep fryer, the smoker or even the Instant Pot, it didn't turn out right.

I know getting older is not everyone's favorite thing to do. I mean once you turn a certain age it's not as much fun. I get it. Turning older sure beats the alternative. So when you can find fun things to do you just have to grasp them.

Maybe we didn't eat enough noodles the last time New Year's Day rolled around, and that's what was wrong with 2020. More noodles this time! And black-eyed peas of course.

The tradition of the homecoming mum started as just that, a simple mum.

Christmas is a magical time of year and it is a time to make memories. Families all over the world celebrate Christmas with certain traditions. Some are fun and festive and others are just plain weird. However, we all have our traditions we love and here are a few from our friends here in Amarillo.

Memorial Day has turned into a fun weekend of leisure, rather than an iconic day of remembrance.

According to an ancient Irish tradition, women can propose to men on Leap Day.

From the overpriced flowing white dress to walking slowly down an aisle while music plays to throwing a garter into a crowd, weddings are filled with rituals that would make no sense if you saw them in any other place.

Girls and pierced ears go hand and hand in my family.  It is a tradition to do it soon after the girl is born.  But is it cruel to pierce a baby's ears?
