The nomad’s never-ending holiday season is here
“Oh, I love this time of year – it is the holiday season” another mom told me at my kids school the other day. “It sure is!” was my first response, but then I thought: “Isn’t is always holiday season?” In September I wished my Korean and Chinese friends Happy Moon festival. The first week of…
