Yearly Traditions

[RunMickeyRun02]

I seem to suffer from a sort of football based narcolepsy where the more exciting a football game is and the closer that game is to a conclusion the more likely I am to black out. So much so I missed a large portions of arguably the most exciting game of more recent times the Boise State/Oklahoma bowl game.

With the advent of the DVR this has lessened a bit but I still struggle weekly. Fighting all year long I relent and allow myself to watch a the same game every year with the full knowledge that I will fall asleep and that's okay. That game is the Army/Navy game. It's normally the only game on that day, the last of the college football season and I know it's not patriotic but it just feels right for some reason, so every year that's my "sleep game"

Another unique yearly tradition is that my wife and I watch "Mallrats" every year around Easter due to events in the movie correlating with that holiday.

What are some of your rather odd yearly traditions?

I thought of another one, my wife and I have Monty Pythons "Holy Grail" on repeat as we wrap Christmas Presents, this is something I've done even before I met her but I enjoy her embracing my preexisting tradition. Every year she stops at the "Dennis outside of the autonomous collective castle" part of the movie and laughs like it's the first time she's seen it.

My own personal yearly tradition: I pick out one gift from under the tree and carefully unwrap it to see what it is. Then I rewrap it. I've been doing this since I was a kid, and still haven't been caught.

Every year on Thanksgiving night I watch The Godfather, and then on Christmas Night I watch Godfather Part II.

Many moon ago during my late teens/early twenties, every Xmas I would bonk this chick that would come back from Ohio to visit her family. I called it the YuleTide romp.

Also, we would put up an Xmas tree in our bach pad basement and decorate it with panties and a naked barbie on a stripper pole. Good times.

Now....my wife and I play KENO in Hastings with her side of the family every year the day after Xmas...

I was never that cool, even before I got old. No annual "bonks" even in my glory days.

Consuming more egg nog then I'll admit to.

Watching home alone at least 4 times, Christmas vacation a couple times as well.

Avoiding a Christmas story like its the GD plague

I tried to start a tradition of watching Santa With Muscles every year with my GF now Wife...she didn't go for it.

in case anyone cares, this year was a bit odd in that I feel asleep almost immediately after kickoff, woke up around halftime and then stayed awake for the end of the game. Then I watched the DVR'd Kansas game,...not fun, but wasn't expecting it to be.
