Since I moved to Thailand, I've ignored all US holidays. I do love fun Thai holidays, like the April Thai New Year, which is a country-wide water fight on the hottest day of the year!

People cruise the roads throwing water on each other and using huge soaker water guns.

This is not new but I couldn't resist posting it anyway: In the base-8 number system (octal, usually abbreviated to OCT):

OCT 31 = DEC 25 (DEC being our 'usual'decimal base-10 number system)

I don't celebrate any of the holidays except Summer and Winter Solstice, maybe Thanksgiving to get together with family. I do celebrate current events and other peoples achievements with friends and family.

I would have to agree with you!

I get tired of all these celebrations.
