Thanksgiving

My Thanksgivings are actually fairly normal, surprisingly. I usually celebrate it with my mom's side of the family, but getting together is always a hassle. Getting people to come from Toronto, Indianapolis, Atlanta and Lexington can get pretty hectic. So we take turns hosting. For a bunch of foreigners, we actually do a good job with the traditional Thanksgiving food, too. Sometimes we throw in a curry here and there but hey, it happens. The only part of the dinner that deviates is probably the timing. Most people have it early, but we, taking it very literally, enjoy it as a dinner. And even then, a late dinner. For instance, this year's happened at like 8 PM. Yeah, there was quite an overlap with the digestion and the start of the Black Friday shopping. I love Thanksgiving as a holiday because, well, it's probably the only American holiday that my parents are comfortable celebrating. Plus when you're as small as me, a bit of extra food is always nice.
