Little things here and there!

-Our Thanksgiving holiday was nice and relaxing. We were invited to my husband’s cousin for the Turkey dinner and it was fun. We have always been invited for Thanksgiving dinner so I have never cooked Turkey ! I really don’t like Turkey anyway but I like the things that come with it. The day after Thanksgiving is one of the greatest sales in US and some people go to mall for shopping as early as 5:00 am!!
I and my Mom always go together for shopping and it has become a tradition for us too. This year I had promised myself not to shop a lot and I just bought some stuff for the family kids that I usually give them Christmas presents and some few things for myself, my son and my husband!!
It was hard to come back to work after a 4.5 days holiday (we were allowed to work half day on Wednesday!!)

-We bought our real first Christmas three this year. I used to buy a little fake one and put it on the top of fire place but I decided to get a real one this year because my son is old enough to understand the concept and don’t ruin it as well. My husband said” we are not Christian, why we should buy one?” I said” I am open to all religions and their celebrations. I love Christmas and I enjoy it a lot, plus our son is born here and is growing up with kids that majority of them celebrate Christmas, I don’t want him to feel he is different or isolated from other kid’s celebrations!!” I know some people say, we should teach our kids who we are and make them understand that we are different but I don’t agree with that! When you decide to raise your kid in a country different from your original home land you should be aware that no matter what your kid will pick up his current home land culture. It is good to teach them about our culture, what I always do, but stopping him from cherishing something that majority of people cherish in this land is selfish and makes him to hate his culture at the end. I like to raise my son in a way that he will be open to all religions, beliefs and cultures. No prejudism!!
Any way my husband agreed and now he was excited himself to decorate tree with me and my son. I will try to take a picture of our tree and put it here soon!!!!

-Today is 8 years that I have moved to US. My life has changed so much in this eight years and I myself have changed in lots of ways too. I think that applies to every one who immigrates. No matter what we change not necessarily a good or bad change but we change. I know that getting older has a lot to do with our personality changes as well.
I believe where you end up living is part of our destiny. God know where we will be in 10 years or twenty years?

-We watched Borat over the weekend. It is a very funny movie that has sold alot so far! It was fuuny but at the same time very gross. we laughed a lot but I really did not like the fact that the lead actor who I think is producer too, showed people from Kasaghestan so uncivilized and made fun of them. They must be very mad at him!!
