It's Beginning to look alot like..wait, stop the presses, it's only November 5th, Thanksgiving is not..oh..yeah..nevermind

Yes it is November 5th here in Hong Kong and everyone is putting up their Christmas decorations like it is the week before Thanksgiving. As an American family whose first year is in Hong Kong, we react with horror, right?  "Oh come on.  It's only November 5th.  Thanksgiving is still almost..." then you stop and blink yourself back to the moment.

Yes this is Hong Kong, the Special Administrative District of the People's Republic of China. The next holiday IS Christmas. They don't celebrate American Thanksgiving.
