Family tradtions

Hello everybody,
every family has their own traditions. Some of them are more common than others.
I think it's fascinating to see those different traditions.

I would love to hear about your traditions!

One of the things my family and I do when we pick up each other from the airport is driving around the city the person has landed at. Even though we've driven through it a hundred times we will still do it. We do the same thing when we go out for dinner too or when we come home after a holiday. We will drive through our hometown and two or three more villages before going home. My grandfather always calls it "checking what has changed since we've been gone".
After we parked the car but still sit inside, at least one of us will ask: "Where shall we go now?"

My grandfather and I have this inside joke about going to get some petrol in Hamburg (Hamburg is like a five to six-hour drive away). There is a petrol station that never changes its price on the app we use. It is hilarious I swear. 😜
It's even funnier when other people are with us. Their facial impression is gold.

Since my mum moved because of her work i only see her around every other month. My grandparents and I go there during the holidays and when we do that we always do a pit stop at the same place. My grandfather gets himself a "Bratwurst" and my grandmother some cake from McDonald's. I'm also having a snack there but the thing is we actually hate that McDonald's because no matter how many or less people there are it takes them ages to get the food ready and it's cold everytime. Don't ask me why we still go there it just fits perfectly to our route.

Now coming to Christmas traditions.
When I was younger we (my grandparents and I) use to pick up my uncle in Berlin so my mum has enough time to prep the food and presents. We don't do this anymore but a thing that we did back then and still do now is driving around our neighbouring villages to look for Santa. We will find at least three each year.
