I am am an American (from NY) living permanently in the UK. At present, I work for BBC Radio Cambridgeshire, and will be interviewed on air on Friday, Dec. 28th concerning how New Yorkers and Americans feel at Christmas and the New Year holidays and how, or if, Sept. 11 tragedies has changed their perspectives for the new year, or their way of celebrating at this time. Any Americans or expats (from anywhere in the world) who would like to send me their views and thoughts, please email me directly at "[email protected]". I may use your replies, but not your names. Wishing all Americans happy holidays and hope for a peaceful future.
