Okay, I guess I'll say mine. I'm all Italian--except, my Mom says that our great-great (or more greats...O_o) grandfather was from Spain. My Mom usually cooks all forms of Italian meals and desserts. In Massachusetts, there's a section of Boston called "The North End." That's the most Italian place in the state. We have feasts there and block parties for all occasions of the year. It's like a mini New York--since they do it in "Little Italy" there. You can walk around and eat the most delicious pastries and there's a place called "Umberto's Galleria" there, too. They have the best pizza and "arancini," which are stuffed rice balls. We go there every year. The North End resembles Venice in some areas, although there are no canals, lol. Christmas Eve is the more important to Italians than the actual day of Christmas. We eat around 5:30 PM and have lot of fish and different meats. It's always been a tradition to go to my aunt's house that night and we stay past midnight every time. It's so much fun. That's the only time I speak Italian, too. Woo, Italians! O_o Anyway, that's pretty much all I can think of at the moment.

Well... I'm Irish, English, and Italian mostly. We do a lot of the same things Sayuri mentioned. Like the Christmas Eve dinner. We go to church (we being my family and my cousin's family) at 5 while my nonna stays home to cook dinner. So we end up eating around 6. We have tons of pasta (for holidays we usually have either ravioli or lasagna) and a lot of meats and fish too... except I don't really like fish. But then we open gifts and after that it's time for dessert! Italians eat a lot of dessert. My grandmothr makes this thing called bianco mangiati... it's a half chocolate half vanilla flavored jello-y type thing. I don't know how to describe it. There's also an Italian bakery a few blocks away called "Chimirri's" But everyone always pronounces the
"ch" like they do in English rather than the "k" sound. We get a whole bunch of pastrys from there... like canolis and in the summer we get almond ice from there too... I can't think of the translation of almond ice right now though... but it's really good.

Basicallythe only Italian traditions I have are eating a lot on holidays and having big get-together parties. I really don't enjoy those though... Italian relatives can get annoying. So I hang out with my cousins and try to avoid the relatives. But at least I know those relatives unlike on my Irish side which I see once a year on Christmas...

I don't speak Italian though... I can... a little. I used to be able to but there's been no need. My nonna speaks English so I don't need to speak Italian to her. But I do understand it quite well when it's spoken to me...

I also plan to learn Japanese when I'm in college.

As for my nationality, I'm Irish/Cherokee/French/Frankish...believe it or not I'm directly descended from Holy Roman Emperor Charlemagne and 4 French Kings...

I am bicultural...mixed white and hispanic.

I despise my white half of my family, so I really consider myself Mexican (even tho I'm pale as can be).
My mom makes great Mexican food (only my grandmother can make the best tamales ever!!) My favorite dish is fajita tacos, but I like mol a lot too.
As far as cultural traditions and stuff, we've pretty much lost them through time. My mom used to petition to make Cinco de Mayo a student holiday when I was in elementary school. This isn't really associated with Mexican culture, but it is common in my area of the country for Hispanics (especially new Immigrants from Mexico) become bound closely to Roman Catholicism. That's why my parents are pushing me to be confirmed.

Oh, look,I ranted. Time for me to go now.

I'm American, and I speak English. I was born in Hawaii, but I don't look like a native or anything, lol. ^_^; I do know a little bit of the Hawaiian language though, and I can also speak some Japanese. I'm pretty sure that I have like some German and Swedish in me... My last name is German.

That's all. XD Very interesting, huh? Our family doesn't have any traditions, we just do fun normal stuff.

Oooh...Emperor Justinian and Empress Theodora...that's some very fine ancestry. It's always interesting to hear who people know they're descended from...I suppose since I'm descended from Charlemagne, that also means I'm descended from two other famous Frankish kings: Pepin the Short, and Charles Martel (also known as Charles the Hammer) ... who are Charlemagne's father and grandfather respectively...

Justinian was the emperor of the Byzantine Empire, wasn't he? So if he was, I suppose it would stand to reason that Theodora was Christian (although whether she'd be Catholic/Eastern Orthodox I'm not sure...)
