Bizarre family traditions

[Mumbles]

Just finished my Xmas pud, which my family have always eaten on Easter Sunday for as long as anyone alive can remember when my partner says that I've completely lost the plot having Xmas food in April.
Any one else got any family traditions that make everyone else think your a nutter!?

we always have pickled onions with a cooked breakfast, can't remember where it came from but always have. Mr W thinks we're mad!

My dad eats xmas cake with cheese. No cheese in the house then no xmas cake. Thinks its a Northern thing. He still likes having a Yorkshire pudding as a starter on a Sunday with just gravey.
Garden wise I am going to be able this year to restart my granddads tradition of planting some new potatoes on Boxing Day.

My dad used to dip orange slices in brown vinegar and eat them. I used to as well. Haven't done it for ages now

There's nothing bizarre about that, it's totally normal for any fruit cake.

Me and my mum always have pork pie for breakfast on Christmas Day. Nobody else in the family does though and I've never persuaded OH to join me and he sticks to his normal bowl of cereal.

Cheese and fruit cake is grim. I'm quite fussy when it comes to cheese though, or at least when I'll eat it or accept it as an ingredient.

No weird traditions here, I certainly do lots of weird things (doesn't everyone?) .... but not as part a tradition. Example: Christmas dinner just gone was turkey and stuffing sandwiches and mince pies out of a rucksack in a rocky outcrop on a hilltop, before doing the obligatory family rounds later in the day. Traditions are generally far too limiting (boring) for me

Hubby does left over yorks with jam. I love fruit cake n cheese. Love to sprinkle oxo cube over a beef stew or cottage pie. Always leave a Xmas dec up some where around the house for the year. Usually do 2 Xmas meals a year nov or dec for which family we don't see on the day. If there's more I'll let you know lol.

My wife and I, when partaking of wine, gargle tunes at each other, and we have to guess the melody!!! It used to drive the kids absolutely nuts!!!

I used to have dry weetabix with butter n jam on, was lovley but think I grew out of it during my second pregnancy, my mam was the same. Out of 7 of us kids I was the only one who liked it.

Both my brothers ate that and now their kids do too!
