Family codes and rituals
Freddy 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?

new year
Every year for the last 3 or 4, we have, at about 11.30pm on December 31st, slightly drunk, gone out onto the patio, and had a barbecue, making sure it lasts into the morning - so we can safely say we were the first people in the world to have a barbecue in the new year (at least in GMT - I bet the aussie's do it, but its hot at christmas over there).
Not bad eh! I bet loads of people do it though, but we are all joint first!

New Year's BBQ's are extremely traditional and as we are a people fond of our drinking the BBQ is still going at midnight so that there is food around to sopp up the alchohol.
