So while I'm all for embracing local traditions, I'm also big on not letting go who I am. As a result, here in SA - I maintain my American and South African traditions. I do cook traditional south african meals but I also prepare all my American favorites. I also do purchase imported American products when I can.
So my question - do you celebrate any of your local holidays in SA as well?
I do Thanksgiving and Halloween .
For Halloween we make all the treats, do the whole costume thing and took my daughter trick or treating. I'm doing Thanksgiving dinner this year ( on the Friday so my working friends aren't screwed). I've got both Americans and South Africans coming.
I do this to help offset home sickness as well. Does anyone else do this?
