Siam: All the Holidays Were an Adjustment

Siam: All the Holidays Were an Adjustment

The whole year in Siam was filled with holidays, to the amazement of the Landons. The Thai enjoyed holidays and had incorporated foreign holidays into their calendar. They could stop working and have a wonderful time. They just loved Christmas, not for its meaning but as another lovely celebration to add to their collection.
