While I hadn't thought about your other points, I think you're right about them, too.Arthur Schenckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10568299067544221996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34249799.post-40684444220632027312007-11-28T08:40:00.000+13:002007-11-28T08:40:00.000+13:00I really enjoyed this post.

Each person has there own feelings about Birthdays, but we all have them even the Jehova Witnesses. I think they are part of our shared cultural expression, and part of you will always be American. I think your desire to share thanksgiving with fellow expats shows the connection it has with others and where it sits in your feelings. Nigel will never have those feelings, just as you will probably never have the same feelings about kiwi holidays that someone did who experienced them as a child, but you remain unique, and can still share with everyone.Kalv1nhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12105726258904259151noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34249799.post-31301427877212206862007-11-25T11:20:00.000+13:002007-11-25T11:20:00.000+13:00Thanks!
