We celebrated Canadian
Thanksgiving the other weekend and it was an incredible holiday spent in my new
home. Two of the other teachers
Ynez and Kandice are American so we will be celebrating Thanksgiving round two
in about a month, but Jen is Irish and Callum is Scottish so this was their
first Thanksgiving!
We did the meal potluck style, we bought a cooked chicken, cooked a pork roast, cooked assorted vegetables, asparagus, enough mashed potatoes for a few days of left -overs, stuffing from scratch, various cheeses, a brownie, and (of course) wine. All of the food turned out great and I was painfully full after the meal (which in my mind is a sign of a successful holiday) we had a bunch of laughs and of course I made everyone go around the table and say what they are thankful for. It was a great day and I only felt a twinge of homesickness, but it was quelled through the marvels of technology as I was able to call my family at the lake in Canada on skype and chat with them, despite their being on the other side of the world. I can’t wait for Thanksgiving round two!
