Happy Holidays!

As you may know, I grew up in a Buddhist family. Since we live in America and all that, my parents have always celebrated the gift-giving aspect around this time of year. Mostly for New Year's, which I believe is the tradition in Thailand. With a crate of citrus, as it would seem with the boxes of oranges and grapefruit family friends have dropped off at my parents' every year for as long as I can remember.

I was reading a few blog posts about "Merry Christmas" versus "Happy Holidays". I'm not at all offended if someone wishes me a Merry Christmas. I really enjoy "Christmas", even though the religious aspect is lost on me. It's about family and friends celebrating (not about the gift giving, although I do enjoy making little gifties for my family and friends).

HAPPY HOLIDAYS (whichever one you celebrate) to you and yours and don't eat too much fruitcake (or stollen)!
