Why are certain traditions lost while others are gained?

Saturday, October 24th, 2009

I’m writing a term paper for my American Folklore class and I was wondering if you guys could give me some feedback. The topic for my paper is traditions gained and lost in families who immigrated to the United States. For example, back in the DR my parents celebrated Three Kings day and Quinceanera but after coming here they no longer do so, yet they also decided to celebrate Thanksgiving when they came here because it’s a family holiday and we’re big on family. So does anybody have similar stories they could share or maybe an opinion on why certain traditions are dropped while others are adopted? I’d appreciate your help:)

I can see how it would be easy to lose traditions that you were never very excited about back home. Also, traditions that are really hard to continue in your new home and traditions that you need a whole community to really get into the spirit of are both probably pretty easy to lose as well. I think the affection for the new culture and the desire to assimilate help to explain why the new traditions are adopted.

In short: out with the arcane and in with the turkey and gravy!

Is it Three Kings Day – January 6 (Día de los 3 Reyes Magos)
or Puerto Rico’s Constitution Day – July 25 (Día del Estado Libre Asociado)?

I think it’s, "No Work Day". They celebrate this 360 days a year. The day starts around 12:00pm. They go to the local government building to get there welfare. Then they stand outside convenient stores looking for loose change for beer. Eventually they add some new hydraulics to their ride.

If you get to become a King (Law of the Land) of the United State for just three days what would you do?

Please list yours. These are mines

Day one? Fire Congress, The White House and the Supreme Court

Day Two? Arrest all the rich folks (Media, Neocons, Corporations) that are destroying the United State of America

Day Three? Give the United State of America back to Americans and then fire myself
during those 3 days I need to find a moment to make a porno movie of Cheney and Paris Hilton

Day 1. Remove congress, hold open elections with in 30 days. (no negative/false ads with a limit of 3 per day) and ban conflicts of interest in politics (any new politico would have to sell every stock, bond, and investment he/she has before running for office.)

Day 2. Go Shakespearean: Kill all the lawyers. (Or at least have them spay & nuetered.)

Day 3. Nationalize the health care system, and the energy industry. Raise teh minimum wage and create a maximum wage for the nation. Take the afternoon off, order a pizza and watch the Patriots on TV.
