Hope all of you had a great and sunny July 4th weekend. Every year we celebrate this event with a lot of outdoor activities, visits to local fairs and events that culminate in spectacular fireworks.
However, this year, we found ourselves in a quandary. Typically, immigrants to the US do their best to educate their first generation American offspring on the culture of their country of origin and celebrate the holidays, cultural and festive activities of that country (as portrayed in My Big Fat Greek Wedding :)). However, this year we found ourselves in a reverse situation. We now have a first generation American living in India. He obviously does not need to be educated on the Indian culture any more (as he is immersed in it). However, how do we expose him to the true culture of the US? How should he be celebrating July 4th and Thanksgiving? Any thoughts?
