It's okay, when things don't go the way we would like. Not all holidays are perfect for me either. My family can be happy at the beginning but then for some reason they are pissed at each other -__- That happens in my family XD... especially with my aunts, it gets really messy, they act so childish. But the thing is I try to look at the positive side, because it's a holiday, and if I can't enjoy it with my aunts then I'll just enjoy it with my cousins and my sisters. And if I can't enjoy it with anybody, I'll just pamper myself. To tell you the truth, i love my family, that's why I love family reunions, but it can get pretty messy sometimes, its okay though. : ) No one is perfect.

My ethnicity is Mutt. Lol. [Peruvian, Japanese, German, Spanish, Turkish] I suppose Latina would be it xp But I like to say Hispasian now and then. whee Born in Guatemala and raised in Michigan My parents are from Peru. We do celebrate the Holidays and my family have incorporated Thanksgiving. We have 2 kinds of stuffing, the traditional bread stuffing and a peruvian stuffing called relleno. Mmmm.... I have a big family [over 200 cousins and I've only met like 5] sweatdrop Only 2 uncles live here in the states. Correction, North America. The rest are spread out in Peru, Mexico, Spain. I too love different cultures and religions. It's so interesting how the rest of the world celebrate life, holidays, death, birthdays.

I'm a mutt. English, Polish, Irish, Scott, Dutch, Romanian, German, Israeli. my family is HUGE. I have relatives all over the world, however we don't have a lot of contact with them. We don't do anything special. We celebrate Christmas, Thanksgiving like typical Americans. But we make our food like food from the old countrys. ^^ Like bratts, and yummy coffees, lots of festive teas, We also make matza (sp?) balls. Oh we also love our bourbon. XD

My ethnicity is Puertorriqueña. Born in California and raised in Florida. My parents are from Puerto Rico.
While I love my people's food and culture, I hate the island itself, I don't like mountains, humidity, lack of air conditioners, lack of full pane glass windows (I don't care how storm safe the shutters are, I hate them!), narrow crowded roads, disregard for traffic laws, clustered buildings, narrow hard shores where it's not murky or polluted. burning_eyes
I guess it's ok for a vacation if you stick around San Juan so you won't have to drive (walk or bus) to go someplace nice.
I LOVE Florida! Beautiful beaches, wide open SAFE roads, it's all sea level, trees trees trees, it's just plain beautiful! My attitude also leans a bit towards the redneck side and fried chicken will be the death of me! I also don't speak Spanish and have limited understanding of it, something my extended family finds very disappointing and shameful. (I'm kinda the black sheep, I don't like most of my cousins, aunts, and uncles and they don't like me. One Christmas we had a pot luck dinner at my uncle's house with "traditional" foods, I brought an English pudding I made just to piss off my aunt-in-law and it was one hell of a tasty, good pudding!)
As for the culture, the music is great, especially the "old style" stuff. SAMPLE!
The food is fantastic! Monfongo, Arroz con gandules, coquito, pion, AVOCADOS! 3nodding
Puerto Rico has the best beauty and fashion products at very low prices.
CHRISTMAS!!! No one celebrates Christmas like Puerto Ricans! Celebrations go from Dec. 1st to Jan. 6th!
