A lot of Pagan customs exist actually because Christians had to appropriate Pagan rituals into their Christian traditions as a way to relate to pagans and "lure" them to their Christian religion. <br />Once again, I've learned a bit more about myself and my own Latvian traditions through your writing.

I think it's important to keep family/cultural customs. While our family doesn't have any customs like these, we do have some "traditions" that I'm glad to see the younger generation (that's your age group!) are keeping. For instance, on alternate years, all the grandchildren come home for Thanksgiving with my parents. It's so wonderful to hear them share memories from past Thanksgivings.<br />I hope you're doing well.Grammy Goodwillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06692427011915245206noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8986048791171437584.post-5309615105279479792012-10-09T03:58:22.486-04:002012-10-09T03:58:22.486-04:00Liene, I really love reading about how your family...Liene, I really love reading about how your family celebrates Latvian customs! It is so fascinating, and as an American who grew up overseas, I always feel a little "roots envy." I love it when parents who speak another language pass that on to their children, and remember their unique cultural traditions-- I pretty much grew up without any, besides celebrating Christmas and Easter in the American way.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00747747919718890319noreply@blogger.com
