    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   
    NB>> particular week (like ours is third Sunday of June)....?   
      
    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...  ;)
