What's Your Family's Special Tradition? Share Your Story With Patch

Every family is different. What makes your family special or unique? We want to get to know our readers by understanding their personal traditions.

In the last week of August every year, I try to do something big with my family, whether it’s taking the kids somewhere they’ve never been before or just making one more trip to the Ocean City Boardwalk. In December, we try to go to Hershey, Pa. to catch Santa before he starts delivering presents. And then there’s Sunday dinner that includes uncles, aunts, grandparents and plenty of food.

We want to know what your special traditions are. Send an email to Anthony.Bellano@patch.com with details on what the tradition is, how long you’ve been doing it and why it is special. Be sure to include your name, hometown and a photo if possible, and we’ll run your story on Patch.
