Answer a Question with a Question...

Can you imagine what I would receive,
if I just had someone who shops for me, cruise the aisles and choose for me, rather than my giving them a very specified list?
;):LOL::giggle::geek:
 
Are you offering to grocery shop for me? :cool:
OR, are you offering to list items you think someone would get for me, if I didn't give them a specific list? :LOL::sneaky:
 
If I were to grocery shop for you, wouldn't the ice cream melt and the perishables spoil before I could deliver it to you?
 
Not necessarily Christmas traditions - but those come to mind.

For instance: My GF has two kids who are well past the Santa Claus believing age, but she started hiding Elf on a Shelf when they were quite little and they continued to insist on it.

The older and cleverer they got and the more hiding places she used up, the more of a chore it became. Hiding this guy every night was getting to be a royal pain.

One night she wrapped his little legs in a bandage and splatted him on the floor beneath the kitchen counter. Oh no! E on S had fallen broken his legs!!! When the kids found him, she fashioned a little bed and that's where he stayed for the rest of the Christmas season.

That was a couple of years ago and he still hasn't recovered. Laid-up Elf on a Shelf has become their new, easier tradition...

Pretty smart, don't you think?
 
Not me, my GF did the broken legs. Elf on a Shelf started as a children's book about 15 years ago. By that time my kids were entering their twenties. However, I did start - and continue with - many Christmas traditions that weren't necessarily intended to go on for more than a year or three.

Do you find the same to be true for your family and various traditions?
 
Yes, (my daughter has kept up the bunny that landed in a talc factory, leaving talc footprints all over the house on Easter.)

You enjoy teaching your grandchildren, games that you played as a child.
 
What a hilarious tradition about with Easter bunny and talc! I just put that on my April 2022 calendar for fun with the grands!!!

I enjoy all kinds of games with my grands, including some I played as a child - and some my parents played when they were children.
Do you play outdoor games with your grands that involve running? (Tag, nerf gun wars, etc.)
 
I sure do! Love running and playing with them. Water balloon fights? Now there's a great idea that I hadn't considered... used to do that with my kids when they were young. :cool::love:

Do your grandchildren's parents roll their eyes at you a bit when you play these games with their kids?
 
Does that question assume you believe an old goat like me could actually have been described as being straight-laced???
