IMHO, lutefiske at our gatherings died with the last of the last generation... :~P
~sigh~
You younguns don't care much for tradition.
We on the other hand, didn't want to bring any family traditions into our house. They were just weird.
Like my stepdad insisting that you MUST have oysters on Christmas Eve. Problem is, no one in his family likes them. So Christmas Eve dinner consists of sitting around eating oysters and talking about why you don't like them.
It's positively joyful.
