I feel like throwing a little randomness out there today:p My family has a large mixture of cultures(Huguenot, German, Scotch-Irish, English, and Scottish to name just a few), but our family name reflects our strongest influence: Welsh. Now it has been a long time since we had family in Wales, our first ancestor came in through Jamestown in he 1640's, but Dad always wanted to keep some of our ancestral traditions alive. We celebrate today and sometimes even Bastille Day, and other various holidays. Even if Dad does fly the Welsh seperatist flag with St. David's cross on it when this comes around:sheep:, it was great to take a look back at all the people who had an influence on what I am today.
For those who wish to know, St. David is the patron St. of Wales, and was famed for bringing Christianity to the region. It is somewhat similar to St. Patrick's Day, but with far less press:p. The irony of course being that my family is protestant. I know this thread won't last long as it is, so feel free to share any special holidays or traditions your culture might have, I think it would be fun ^_^.
