What is the origin of your holiday tradition?

Hello Everyone!
As the holidays approach, I know we all have holiday traditions that we stick to, and I am an AVID listener to Elvis Duran and the morning show.  Literally Obsessed.  They were talking this morning about how soon is too soon to take a trip with someone that you are dating and it really resonated with me because me and Kyle went to Washington D.C on a whim 3 Thanksgivings ago and now it is a tradition that we plan to do forever and ever and take our kids to the same stops that we go to every year (literally cannot wait to hear "Mom we have heard how Abraham Lincoln died 12 times now)  CANT WAIT

Funnily enough.. we were in the "Talking phase" for like 3 months before we started dating.  I even called him my boyfriend to other people when I was talking about him before he "officially asked me" hehe.  2014 I decided I would go home for fall break rather than Thanksgiving because flights were cheaper, and I got more days off school, and it didn't interfere with track meets or finals.  Which meant I would have to find someone or something to do for Thanksgiving.  One day in October me and Kyle were hanging out at his house and he started telling me how much he loved Washington D.C. and wanted to go back there, he was surprised when I told him I had  never been and we talked about going together one day.  I then exclaimed, let's go for Thanksgiving!  I needed somewhere to go and I just kindof figured why not.  Kyle was taken by surprise when  I pulled up hotel information (probably freaked out because we barely started dating) but he went with it and we took 10 hour road trip to D.C and spent our first holiday together within the first month of being "official" all because I needed something for Thanksgiving :)
BUT it became our very favorite tradition, and we talk about how we will do this every year and bring our kids to the exact same sights we visit every year and one day we will tell them how the tradition even came about, which is even better than the actual tradition because of how funny it is lol

What is your favorite Tradition and how exactly did it come about?!?
