What’s Your Favorite Holiday Tradition? [Block Talk Survey]

Do carolers ring the doorbell and serenade you in a tradition that’s more about community than music? Does your neighborhood go big for holiday lights that draw people out of their houses to gather with others under the festive glow?

Do you hold or take part in neighborhood holiday parties and drop-in open houses? Do you hand-deliver cards and plates of cookies and candy to your neighbors? Do you have cookie walks and dessert swaps?

Many of these traditions have faded into obscurity in the shift from community- and religious-based traditions to more consumer- and family -centered celebrations.

What’s your favorite tradition, new or old, or what tradition would you like to see brought back? We’re asking for Block Talk, Patch’s exclusive neighborhood etiquette column. Just fill out the survey below. As always, we don’t collect email addresses.
