Family codes and ritualsFreddy Woo writes, "as a child we used to have a 'whoever cuts doesn't choose the slice' rule with cake. It worked brilliantly, but it's left me completely anal about dividing up food - my wife just takes the piss as I ritually compare all the slice sizes."
What codes and rituals does your family have?

we were never allowed to open presents until everyone wasup, washed and dressed, and had had breakfast, and the dishes were washed up.
Then our Dad would sit by the tree, handing out the presents one at a time and everyone would watch that person open his or her present before the next one was handed out.
Mum would collect all the wrapping paper in a big bin bag as we went along.
Oddly enough, even though there is only me and mr b3th in our house, and we are a pair of curmudgeonly old gits, I still carry out this tradition. I play 'father'. I have all the control of the presents. Mwah hah hah.
