Since I was kid, I have been taking Indian Classical Music Lessons. We have a lot of celebrations and festivals like Diwali or Holi and a lot of times we go to the temple. Sometimes I go and sing at the temple. We eat lots of sweets and other traditional foods that are my favorite.

Music has always been a big part of my family as well.  We grew up listening to everything from classic American Rock, to Western Classical music, to jazz, R & B, Soul, Broadway musicals, etc.

Because I am Indian, we celebrate a couple of different holidays year round. One of them is diwali, the "festival of light", and using oil and wicks we light almost a hundred lamps around the house and put flower arrangements around the house. We also cook lots of food as a sort of offering, and then we all eat and do prayers to the divinities we celebrate this holiday for.

we have a feast for New Year's Eve but not so much for Christmas--my parents grew up in the USSR and they didn't really celebrate Christmas that much (especially my dad) but they celebrated New Year--we have a lot of different kinds of salads that we have for celebrations as well, like a salad with potatoes and bologna and we also have a salad with beets. My dad also makes carrot cake for New Year's every year, but I don't think that's really cultural; it's more just a family tradition

In my Mexican household, my mom likes Salsa (a type of music), we eat mostly Mexican food, I speak Spanish with my mom and we celebrated my Grandma's birthday who is from Mexico so we had a Zoom meeting with her and the rest of my family. However,  my dad is Persian so he sometimes listens to Persian music but I don't speak Farci with my dad which is a little bit disappointing but I am trying to get better at it
