One of my nephews has been married and divorced 3 times!!
Think he just likes wedding cake.
Ha! That's funny:)

I remember in a Sociology class, when discussing types of marriage in different cultures (monogamy, polygamy, polyandry etc), it was objectively explained that "western culture" does not practice Monogamy. In most cases we are actually classified as "Serial Monogamists." Your Nephew is not alone.:)

I think your "Happy New Year tree" would be strongly frowned upon.
Kids come from all over the neighbourhood to see our tree.
As long as you stick to 'Happy New Year' trees, decorations; presents, food etc., it's fine.
Most are tolerant of Christmas anyway, as they do acknowledge Jesus (Isa) as a prophet, it's just the companies and Government that ignore the word 'Christmas'.

That's cool. It reminds me of a friend we had in the Philippines who would set up a tree in the middle of their town square and hook up a tv with American Cartoons we'd send him to show the kids from his car hook up.

My father certainly didn't practice anything resembling monogamy.
Most people here only take one wife (at a time), though divorce and affairs are just as common as in the West. :(

The most expensive Christmas tree ever was in Dubai (or somewhere like that in the Gulf), decorated with diamonds and Swiss watches.
If they do something, they do it bigger!
