Diversity

During Halloween we decorate the house and carve a pumpkin. Christmas we set up a tree and have Christmas presents and Santa. Easter we paint eggs and hide them. If I had any Jewish friends in Japan I would ask to be invited to Passover. I have one Muslim friend here and we get our families together when we can.
I don't want to screw with my son's identity. He is a Japanese boy growing up in Japan. Yet, my wife and I make an effort to provide a home that is diverse. I don't necessarily want a "diverse" child - just, a happy aware child.
