Coming from a family where culture and tradition is so important my feelings on both culture and tradition are very strong. My culture is very important to me, I participate in weekly meetings with my Ukrainian American Youth Association, where we discuss different current events as well as commorate historical events. Also i attend church regularly where i participate in a Ukrainian Orthodox League in which we do all kinds of community service as well as different things around that church such as decorate for christmas and hold a yearly luncheon for the senior citizens of our church.
Also traditions are very important with my family. An example is our Christmas dinner. We hold a traditonal Christmas Dinner are my house which my entire family attends (usually about 40 or 50 people). The dinner is a sit down dinner containing 12 different course, all not containing meat. After dinner we relax and usually sing Ukrainian Christmas carols, and eventually open our gifts. Although christmas is only once a year, we follow other family traditions through out the year...
