Our Team’s Favourite Holiday Traditions
The holidays are a great time to spend with family and even catch up with old friends. Like many families, we have holiday traditions that bring us joy year after year.
Here are some of our team’s family holiday traditions. Maybe this will inspire you to start something new with your family or renew your efforts if things have petered off over the last few years.
- Tony Lupo, Vice President—Lasagna! Lasagna! Lasagna! While this isn’t a traditional turkey dinner, we love making lasagna as part of our holiday tradition. It takes time and planning to put it together (not to mention a secret family recipe!) and is well loved by everyone around our table.
- Kim Furniss, Sales and Marketing—Cutting our own Christmas tree. For as long as I can remember, each year we pack the saw and rope and head out to our favourite local Christmas tree lot. We wander around and look at the shape and size of many trees before making our selection. Then it’s home to trim the tree for the season.
- Karen Emslie, Associate – Our extended family does a gigantic cookie swap. Everyone in the family bakes a different type of cookie, and then we exchange them with each individual family. It’s a great way to enjoy a wide variety of cookies and see what everyone brings to the swap.
- Corrina Novotny, Associate—Even as our kids get a bit older, we still love to partake in our Christmas Eve tradition. We set out carrots for the reindeer and cookies and milk for Santa.
- Eric Hamm, Associate—A fun (and humorous!) moment around our holiday table involves Christmas crackers. We all cross arms with the people on either side of us at the table and “crack” them in unison! Who doesn’t love paper crowns for Christmas dinner!?
