We celebrated different traditions we have in different families and cultures one night. I thought it was so fun to see all the different things that people do and have to bring about familiarity and comfort to a home and family.
Here are some of the different settings people brought so that we could eat our dinner on that night.
Cute Christmas ones.
Fall decorations.
The Relief Society President carved Mormon into a Pumpkin. I thought that was pretty cool. Look closely. She explained it was a tradition her family had growing up. Carving pumpkins because they grew such huge pumpkin patches.
Another lady brought all the stockings she had made over the years for different family members.
I brought Peruvian Picarones. A Peruvian pumpkin doughnut drizzled with maple syrup set on my mother-in-law's China that she handed to me.
Some more fun table settings.
Someones's tradition of canning garden veggies.
Yup, it was a fun and enlightening evening of socialization and chatter and just plain exchanging of traditional ideas.
