darling, since you are part kazakh, happy Nauryz! wishing you to be happy and in good health! 🌿☀️🌼 (i really enjoy your blog <3)
Thank you! The Kazakh part of my heritage is something that I've been getting the chance to connect to more as an adult, so this is really sweet, and also something where I'm like, "oh it never even occurred to me that someone would think to give me wishes for one of the big important holidays from that" and it's really sweet of you.
I appreciate you a lot for including me in this! I am having a little trouble articulating the feelings this is giving me, but like, big sincere ones.
Thank you!
Happy Nauryz! I wish you to be happy and in good health as well!

Novruz is a celebration of the arrival of spring. More precisely, our own “New Year”. Iranian and Turkic peoples celebrate this holiday.
(For Kazakhs this holiday is called "Nauryz")
what are your favorite kazakh traditions? any events you look forward to every year?
Probably Körısu which is on 14th of March.
It is a celebration of the start of spring only in Western Kazakhstan, which you do by just going around your family(extended) and acquaintances and greeting them and just being happy about the start of the spring.
I do not exactly know why there is Körısu AND Nauryz, but it could be because Western Kazakhstan has a much softer climate compared to Northern or Western Kazakhstan. Could also be because of influences from other nations centuries ago. Or something different.
Also Körısu was kinda about visiting other auyls(nomadic settlements), to check on how they weathered through the winter.
It is not an official holiday, but it is just a nice thing only my region has.
My other favourite tradition probably comes from a saying "нағыз қазақ - қазақ емес, нағыз қазақ - домбыра" which translates to literally "a real kazakh is not a kazakh, a real kazakh is dombra" which implies that all real Kazakhs know how to play on dombra. I am not sure if it has historical grounds, but that love for dombra and a desire to secure the future of the art, led to an entire set of schools having free dombra lessons.
