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 never have christmas dinner or puddingAlways pizza and ice-cream: works a treat as other half's parents obviously do christmas dinner, so does my grandfather, and my aunts etc on my dad's side, so you just go bonkers after having roast dinner 3-4 times or so.
My mum's reasoning: "I'm not at work (she's a chef), and you'll all be very sick of christmas dinner soon"
The more I think this over, the more I realise that she rocks.

I've suggested Chinese this year: I'll see how it goes...
