Three traditions of my culture are freedom, marriage, and Christmas. Mostly everyone in my culture wants freedom we pass this from generation to generation as a promise to make us more free each year. Most people in my culture are married by the time they are 30, growing up your parents" raise you to believe that getting married is a part of life.
