I
don't have a very mixed flood, both of my parents are from Seville.
However, if I go to previous generation, blood starts getting mixed,
making me less Sevillian than I thought I was.
My
father's father was from Extremadura, and his wife from the Canary
Islands. My mother's mother, or in otehr words, my maternal
grandmother, is also from Seville, but his blood isn't Sevillian at
all. Her mother was Argetinian, and her grandparents Frech! Also, her
father was from Catalonia mixing more her blood, and at the same time
mine! Nevertheless, despite of all this blood mixure, my family
haven't got a lot of foreign customs. I think, that the only foreign
custom we have adopted is Saint Nicholas. The 24th
of December we all used to have dinner at my grandmother's house, and
after the dinner, the four smallest grandsons she had slept at her
house. In the morning, the rest of the family came back to the house
so they could get their Christmas gift from under the tree. The other
custom I have aren't foreign, they are actually typical Seville. It
is Feria, and, to be honest, I don'y go that usally, so I don't
really know if i should call it a custom.
To
finish, I would like to say that I think that your blood doesn't
influence really much on your customs and others, what does really
influence is the place you are born and who your family is. I say
this because, I've got some French blood, and to be honest, I don't
like French.
