It’s obvious to anyone who spends much time with me because I’m always asking questions. If I wasn’t ignorant I wouldn’t ask.
What I’d like to know is how TR members outside of the US and/or from different cultural backgrounds spend what we call the Holidays, to me, a redneck WASP, that’s Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years.
Here in the US we have Thanksgiving this week followed by Black Friday which some people consider a holiday shopping ritual.
Personally I’d much rather take my wife out to a fine restaurant Wednesday than go over to her relatives for Thanksgiving dinner Thursday. That whole ?we’re all a family? thing is so phony with that bunch. I’ll bet there isn’t a one of them that even know my middle-name and I’ve been a part of their ?family” for years now. I don’t care to know more about them either. Getting a little bitter now, they can all kiss my ass.
Sorry.
What’s it like for you during the Holidays no matter where you’ve spent them in the past or are going to be spending them this year?
What ARE your holidays? Are you Jewish? Islamic? What?
Do you have a traditional Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years or do you do and your culture do something different?
Do Aussies traditionally eat turkey at Christmas and party on New Years or what?
What do Canadians and Brits do this week?
My wife said that Canadians already had a Thnksgiving. I never got the memo. No offense intended but is that just to mirror the US or what?
Is Black Friday solely an American tradition?
Like I said, I’m ignorant and okay, maybe a little stoopid to be posting this question but I want to know. I’m sure someone has an answer. Maybe you’ll tell me.
