Other than the obvious holiday traditions, have you ever included any personal or family traditions/customs in your stories?
This is a complicated question. Surely, I've infused my stories with my traditions/customs. That's a natural part of telling stories. And, as an American of Irish descent, telling stories - long, winding, part truth/part truthyish tales - is in my genetic heritage.
My mother was the source of much of that tradition, as she'd known family members not long in this country. She even passed on some Gaelic (mostly endearments and names of various entities, such as the Banshees). I was that kid who hung around on the fringes of adult conversation and stories. I picked up politics, gossip, and family stories - a LOT of family stories.
