Festive traditions: share yours with Guardian Weekend magazine

Christmas Cake

Do you stick to an old family recipe for Christmas cake, or have you invented your own? What games do you play as a family? Do you follow any unusual customs, and do you remember where they came from? Forget top chefs and tips from party planners – this year we want to know how you celebrate.

Even if you don’t do Christmas we’re interested in your family traditions, the meals you cook when you all get together on special days and the many ways you mark the time of year.

A selection of your entries will appear in Guardian Weekend on 19 December.

Share your best recipes, games, stories and photographs by clicking on the blue ‘Contribute’ button on this article. You can also use the Guardian app and search for ‘GuardianWitness assignments’ – and if you add it to the homepage you can keep up with all our assignments.
