Just wondering what you normally do on ANZAC day? We don"t normally do anything much, unless it is a long weekend and we are away. One of DS's friend's parents was talking about having his birthday party that day and I couldn't decide if I thought it was inappropriate or nor. I guess I would've ok with it in the afternoon, but perhaps not so ok with it if it was in the morning. Do you have strong feelings about ANZAC day?
