Do you watch football every Thanksgiving? Does an elf sit on your shelf before Christmas? Or do you spin a dreidel on Chanukah? We all have our traditions to personalize the holidays and make them feel special.

But some traditions are more common than others. So we want to know... what holiday traditions do you follow each year? Tell us to win a $50 Etsy gift card and a Thanksgiving Thankful Tree Kit!

To get you started, here are some of the non-traditional traditions SheSpeaks staff members celebrate during the holidays:

A Thanksgiving Tree

We do a Thanksgiving Tree every year. Everyone gets leaves and they write what they are thankful for and then we hang them from branches that we collect together. It's very sweet. - Aliza   Enter below to win your own Thanksgiving Thankful Tree Kit, plus a $50 Etsy gift card!

Years of Memories

Each kid gets a new ornament for our Christmas tree every year. We buy it from a store that has tons of ornaments - they even write their name and year on it. My kids are now 21 and 16 so we have tons of them, everything from soccer, gymnastics and baseball to graduations and driving. - Missy

Cooking Experiments

Instead of gifts every night for Chanukah, we spend some nights doing activities with the kids, usually involving food and a giant mess. We've tried making sushi (a sticky-rice mess), fondue (a chocolate mess) and pasta (the biggest mess of all - flour was everywhere!) - Susan

A Christmas Pizza

We make homemade pizza on Christmas Eve, for every year of my life I can remember except one! We even make the crust from scratch and everyone picks their own toppings. Even my teenage son calls it "the best tradition ever." - Carol

New Year's Signature Cocktail for Two

My New Year's Eve tradition is to make a fancy dinner at home and skip the crowds. In addition to getting some decadent food, we try a new signature cocktail, candles & mood music so we can feel like we've transformed our house into a swanky restaurant. - Emily

What's your favorite holiday tradition? Tell us for the chance to win a $50 Etsy gift card and a Thanksgiving Thankful Tree!

Making cookies, setting up the tree and being around family

On Christmas Eve each year we gather at my house And then we all pile up into the S UV And we drive around the neighborhood looking at all the pretty Christmas lights and holiday decorations and then we go back to my house and we sing Christmas Carols on the karaoke. We use old serving dishes for Thanksgiving and Christmas that belonged to our great grand parents and grandparents and parents. They are always with us at the table.

We enjoy going out to look at the lights around the neighborhood and looking to see if we can spot Rudolph's shiny red nose on Christmas Eve.
