Just like your taste in food, you’re classic and prefer to keep it that way.  You value tradition and love upholding your family’s practices. It can be difficult for to adapt to change because you enjoy knowing exactly what is going to happen and do not like surprises. This mindset also steers you toward relying on schedules and lists to keep your life organized.

You impress people with your brilliance and courage to challenge accepted ideals. Those around you admire your sense of self and willingness to be different. Keep it up and don’t change to fit the status quo!

You often find yourself on adventures because you are always willing to try new things. You never judge and are very forgiving, always ready to give people a second chance.  Just be sure to do what is best for you, too.  You deserve it!

Pumpkin Pie

The holidays are your favorite time because you love to be around people you love, like your friends and family. You enjoy the simple things in life, like baking cookies with your little sibling or sitting by the fire cozying up with your dog.
