stellar126 I totally agree with you on this one. As a nation, we love long celebrations. And we almost always find a reason for festivities. Also, differences in culture factors here so I can understand why the American friend might find it funny.

stellar126 You're missing a lot. :P But I can sort of understand where you're coming from. I've had very little time reading the books I like, not necessarily fiction, because of my work load. But reading is something I like doing so I try to make time for it.
