    We’re wondering if these are real facts or just some more good familyman humor? :o)

    I believe my dad would never allow us to shoot anything off of anyone else’s head…For fear we’d miss. But, shooting pigeons and hauling wood for the wood stove that heats the house are definitely Christmas traditions at our house.

    I’m from Michigan, and we don’t put Twinkies in the fried turkeys! It’s better with ho-hos! Mmmm…nothin’ like dad’s fried ho-ho stuffed turkey. Can’t wait for Thanksgiving!

    From Australia – we definitely do not ice vegemite holiday cookies. Its too hot to do anything that requires effort, vegemite and cookies are a BAD combination and the beach sand tends to stick to vegemite anyway. However, many family dogs wear antlers through December and spray on window snow is a once off tradition until Mum realises that it gets baked on in the sun.
