 NB>> Aha... you surface again...  ;)   Welcome here, too... :)   I've got so
 NB>> I can remember Canadian Thanksgiving Day in October (vs ours in
 NB>> November)...  now to remember Father's Day for NZ in September, eh...? 
 NB>> Is it a particular day of the month, or is it a particular day of a

 PH> Hi Nancy... it's September 7th over here... strange as that may sound
 PH> to you

It only sounds strange if one is locked into thinking that everyone has
the exact same customs all over the world... always on the exact same
day...     We get lulled into thinking that to be the case with such
holidays as Christmas that ARE the same (pretty much) everywhere...  It
makes sense that different places would have days to honor various
segments of the population, but unless there was some world-wide event
to spur it, there's really no reason for it to occur at the same time
everywhere.. :)

 PH> but for me it's always been the time my son and daughter come in
 PH> with a home made card, toast and tea first thing in the morning... I
 PH> must be doing something right :-)

Along with the wife and kids... :)   Nice to be appreciated...  ;)
