This sort of a 'tradition' at our house but it's more a competition between my sister and my wifey. It's 'who can bring the weirdest dessert' for an after dinner snack lol and I think the wifey has this one in the bag (this year so to speak). I'll share but note she didn't create it but found it online a while back so all credit goes to whoever (we don't know and can't find out).
The recipe for Litterbox Cake
2 recipes brownies (homemade is best but Entenmanns can work, in a pinch)
1 recipe chocolate frosting (buy only if you absolutely must as these taste horrible from a can)
2 recipes angel food or white cake (unfrosted store bought, if necessary)
1 large box Nerds with greens and blues picked out (or one small box of each color)
1 bag Tootsie Rolls candies
1 brand new (please!) litterbox (best with kitty designs on the side or partial litterbox cover or splashguard so there’s no mistaking the cat-box for what it is)
1 brand new litter scooper (to match the box)
1/4 cup dark honey
Assembly:
1. cut the brownies into even squares and line the bottom of the box with them
2. melt the frosting slightly in the microwave to achieve a pourable consistency
3. pour the frosting over brownies in an even layer and smooth out well into the corners
4. in a large bowl, crumble the cake to make a fine, littery crumb
5. sprinkle blue and green Nerds evenly over the top (to resemble those air freshening crystals which [dubiously] improve offensive odors)
6. now for the fun part: sculpt Tootsie rolls into realistic renditions of cat stool (kitty poo, if you will)
7. randomly insert litter scooper to simulate attempted filtering of litter
8. scatter and embed Tootsie Roll sculptures into cakey litter
9. pour honey over litter in a simulated urine pool
10. apply litterbox splashguard or partial cat-box cover for un unmistakable litterbox ambiance
11. present to oohs and aahs and ughs all around—then dig in!
I attached a small pic for a better idea. (hope no one is to grossed out LOL)
Also I edited some of the language for decency.

Anyone have a (let it all out uncle). Thats my uncle. Thats always a tradition at my place. I guess my family is the same as georges on seinfeld too. It starts out on a good note. After turkey then the family laundry gets aired out. Funny it's always the same issues. My uncle ends up on the sofa snoring.
Hmmm think I'll go green on this one. How about solar powered. (I guess the neighbours would wonder after awhile why the grunting sounds good only be heard during the day. Save a bunch on batteries though)

Christmas Traditions
Tis the season of making merry and spending lots of hard earned money. In giving with the spirit of this festive season I thought I would start this thread. After reading up on a few threads it sounds like we could all do with a little festive spirit. Post your favourite traditions, family or what ever. Just remember to observe forum rules please. (I don't think we need to know what type of batteries that gift you got your girlfriend or wife takes) LOL.......
Merry Christmas Rip.
