Bella and I have very similar families and values. Bella has 2 siblings and I have 3. We are both very close with our family and spend a lot of time with them. We are also both Italian and do many of the same traditions on holidays like the 7 fishes on Christmas Eve. We are also both very athletic and prioritize sports. Big games like the Super Bowl are important in our families. We both see our extended family very often, once a month usually. My family believes it's important to eat dinner together and Bellas family does the same.

Today, I interviewed Merryn to better understand her personal culture. I asked Merryn if sports are valued in her family. She said that sports have always been a part of her and her family's lives. They value physical activity and enjoy cheering each other on. This is similar to my family because my siblings and I all played a sport at Archmere. Next, I asked Merryn if she celebrates primarily on Christmas or Christmas Eve. She said that her family celebrates on both Christmas and Christmas Eve. My family does both as well. I then asked her what her favorite holiday tradition is. Her favorite holiday tradition is Christmas pollyanna. I agreed with Merryn because every Christmas Eve my cousins and I do a pollyanna gift exchange and I have always cherished that tradition. Next, I asked Merryn who her favorite artist is and she told me she enjoys Megan Moroney. I also enjoy her music but my favorite is Taylor Swift. Lastly, I asked Merryn if she likes to read. Merryn does not spend her free time reading and neither do I.

Hippolyte speaks more languages than I do: He can speak English, French, and German while I can only speak English and non fluid French.

Hippolyte has similar celebrations in his culture: Christmas, Easter, Birthdays. However he does not celebrate Thanksgiving, unlike me.

While he does get pizza and fast food, he does so rarely, while I can get it around once a week.

Neither of us see our extended family all that often, around twice a year.

Hippolyte categorized French culture as one with deep attachment to gastronomy and art, while I categorize American culture as a hodgepodge of many cultures with importance placed on hard work and democracy.

Cecilia and I both speak english at home, and both of our families prioritize similar holidays, like Christmas, Thanksgiving and Easter. My family has more specific expectations for manners at dinner and with people outside of our family. I see my extended family very often, whereas Cecilia sees her extended family during holidays or celebrations.

We both appreciate hanging out with friends, and we have similar downtime hobbies. We both also listen to similar music, rock and pop.

We also both celebrate cultural traditions at Christmas time. My family does the Italian tradition of the 7 fishes on Christmas eve, and Cecilia's family celebrates the Polish Christmas meal. Another difference during holidays, is that Cecilia and her family have a tradition of dressing down for Christmas and Thanksgiving, whereas my family dresses up for holidays.

Kate and I both speak english at home--no second languages. I only see my family at holidays and weddings/funerals; however, Kate sees her family "very often, about every other weekend." We both like listening to music, specifically within the rock and pop genres. Christmas is an important holiday to our families, but Kate's family also values Easter. Not everyone in my family comes home for Easter, but Thanksgiving is popular. Kate says she eats "a lot of Italian" food at home, which I agree I also eat Italian food. A lot of pasta. Something that's very important to Kate is music. I would agree, I love music too. In her family, it's polite to not look at your phone when talking to someone, and thank the host by getting them a gift. I've never heard of that, but I think that's nice. I should host more often. For fun, Kate likes to listen to music and hang out with friends. I like to hang out with friends for fun too. When we learn, Kate and I both agree that repetition is key to learning something. For special occasions, she tends to dress nicer with a dress or a skirt. I tend to dress nice for weddings and funerals, but Christmas is a time to dress down in pajamas. Kate is Italian, so her family does the 7 fishes tradition at Christmas and makes pasta for her family members as gifts. My family is polish, so we have the polish meals and break the wafers with each other. Overall, Kate's family is very family oriented. Mine is not, unfortunately. We have a lot of beef, but we make it through the holidays.
