Ahh, traditions....You gotta love them.
There's the ever wonderful Elf on a Shelf crowd pleaser {which I fully plan on implementing this year},
the classic who-gets-the-neck-of-the-turkey contest {something we've never done, but hey!}, and who could forget the always fabulous, let's-wake-up-at-a-completely-irrational-hour-to-purchase-a-few-DVD's annual affair!
All are swell, but none measure up to the mother of all traditions that we have created around these parts:
Every Thanksgiving weekend, we watch
STAR WARS
from beginning to end!
NO JOKE!
Episodes 1-6!
EVERY.SINGLE.THANKSGIVING.WEEKEND!
{I KNOW! Isn't that weird! STAR WARS! It's a total dork move, but man is it de.lish!}
Call me an old man, but seriously, these movies are wonderful.
Epic.
Fabulous.
Tragic.
Divine.
Extraordinary.
Boss.
The first time I watched them was only a few years back, and LET ME TELL YOU,
Anakin Skywalker pulled me in.
He's my man.
Padme, you go girl.
Obi-Wan Kenobi, speak to me in your sexy accent some more please {only applicable to Episodes 1-3}.
R2D2 and C3PO, the unsung heroes.
Luke, I always hate you at first because you are brat-like, but then I love you.
So far, this the most beloved of traditions we have established, and although we are running the risk of creating Star Wars junkies out of our children, it's worth the risk.

WEIRD?
Haha I am obsessed with star wars and I love your tradition :)
ReplyDeleteFUNNY! I have never even seen one of the star wars movies!
ReplyDeleteHappy watching!
Ahh I love the Anakin/Padme romance.. it's the only part of Star Wars I enjoy. My Fiance insists our children will never learn episodes 1-3 exist.
ReplyDeleteIt's a cool tradition to have though, something very unique to your own family which makes it even sweeter.
That's the kind of tradition my kids and hubby would love! Bring on the geekiness. :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun tradition! I am a new follower to your blog :)
ReplyDeleteI love this tradition! I am going to let my husband know, I'm pretty sure he'd be up on starting this. He already asked if we could watch LOTR over Christmas. LOL
ReplyDeleteMy son is turning one. Dada got him a light saver for his birthday!!
ReplyDeleteOoohh! THAT sounds like a great tradition!
ReplyDeleteThat is an awesome Thanksgiving tradition!
ReplyDeleteI think that has to be one of the best Thanksgiving traditions ever!! My older sister will die when I tell her! I grew up watching Star Wars, and my older sis is beyond addicted! I'm always so very sad to hear someone has never scene Star Wars (this happens more often than you think!) They are classics!! :)
ReplyDeleteHope your Thanksgiving was fabulous!
