If we took a holiday...

Somehow, I feel like I'm over the hurdle. I think finishing one big speech I had to write made me feel like I was past the really tough stuff. So anyway, I think I am going to make it to Thanksgiving all in one piece, and possibly not even work during the four-day weekend! Four days, because of Thanksgiving and also Eid-ul-Azha.

Eid-ul-Azha is, I am sure, a very meaningful holiday. It is also a day on which I do not plan to leave my apartment, because that meaning is manifested through the slaughter of animals in the streets. The richer you are, the bigger the animal. So in my neighborhood, people have camels. No joke. I am going to try to take pictures of the camels before they die.

In other news, it is SO getting close to Christmas! Woohoo! It's my favorite holiday. I only hope I'm not so busy that I neglect to enjoy it. Last year this involved importing canned eggnog from Singapore in my luggage, getting my mom to send a giant faux Christmas tree that somehow made it through the pouch, and making my housekeeper go out, on the day of my holiday party, to find a tailor willing to turn around a tree skirt in an hour--which, incidentally, ended up looking exactly like the Bangladesh flag. Can't wait!
