This past Thursday we celebrated Thanksgiving, one
of the major holidays of the US. For some families it’s even more important
than Christmas because it’s a holiday when families come together to carve the
turkey and give thanks for all the wonderful things in their lives.
According to Wikipedia, the event that Americans
commonly call the “First Thanksgiving” was celebrated to give thanks to
God for guiding them safely to the New World. The first Thanksgiving feast
lasted three days, providing enough food for 53 Pilgrims and 90 Native
Americans. Of course, we all know that the Native Americans were slaughtered
after but it’s still a great holiday for stuffing your face and giving thanks!
And on that note, I would like to give thanks to
our 6 wonderful friends that turned this Thanksgiving into a lovely
‘Friendsgiving’ (the new name given to the occasion when you spend it with
friends instead of family) and also for helping us christen our
apartment.
Tom, the
turkey, went in at noon and after champagne, wine and cheese we started eating
at 5pm, by the end of the night we were stuffed, drunk and very thankful -
a great holiday indeed :D
