Family Traditions

I love my Hungarian family traditions. family get-together, with lots of food, and music. At Christmas, my Nagymama would make poppy seed desserts of strudel, and rolls. The rolls had 2 fillings symbolizing richness and good health and walnuts, which were believed to protect against bad luck.

My nagymama came here from Hungary when we was 16 and she taught me so much about Hungary. She always smelled like the lily of the valley.

I loved dancing with my Father . He would dance and sing the Hava Nagila. Which is Jewish, but for years I thought it was Hungarian.
