Yay! More Third World nonsense! Why did they emigrate when they had to leave their beloved goats behind (and yes that’s a pun)?
I bet you and your family hold on to a few traditions that were brought here from the “old country”. There is nothing wrong with doing so. Most groups who emigrate to the US end up assimilating by their 2nd or 3rd generations.
My family has held on to the tradition of La Matanza (hog killing) that was brought to New Mexico from Spain in the late 1500’s. It’s a part of who we are. It brings the family together and it will be a sad die if the tradition ever dies out.
