It is Thanksgiving in US now. My headoffice is closed as everyone goes back to their hometown to be with their families. It is like our Chinese New Year reunion dinners. So the West has similar traditions. Family is a universal value. The kids grew up and flew the coop but returns annually to have 3 generations togetherness. We are using up a lot of carbon but family value is critical for the survival of our human race.
We are lucky that we have a tradition of having dinners as a family. Then there is rule that we cannot quarrel or use the phone or watch tv. So it is conversation. Pure simple old fashion talking to each other. It is wonderful to share stories and events for the day.
