Happy Holidays

Wendy is her name. And she shows me around in this amazing Victorian house. Asks me where I'm from. And how long I will stay. Proud I tell her I'm there to stay. Re-lo-ca-ting. For a year or so.

Says Wendy after the visit: "Well, then I wish you happy holidays."

Hello?! Does this woman not listen?
I'm proud to stay.

Me:"But I'm here to stay. I am NOT a tourist."
"Happy Holidays" she says again. As in "Happy Thanksgiving."

Yes. Right.
They do celebrate Thanksgiving in this country.
Stupid me.
