You need to expand your horizon... most (the vast majority) of the world's
population does not celebrate Christmas - shocked, eh - and many don't
celebrate their New Year on Jan.1. For many years my New Year's day ritual has
been to wake up late and to have an early dinner at a local Chinese retaurant.
So where do you live that everyone is WASP?
