4. Making a wish off of the wishbone.

This is a tradition where two family members pull apart the wishbone together. Whoever pulls apart the larger piece of the wishbone will have their wish come true!

5. Play a board game with family.

To make it more interesting, whoever wins the game gets to have the first piece of pie when dessert is served.
