expat t-day
tomorrow is thanksgiving in the u.s., but t-day doesn’t arrive here until saturday, when I am once again putting on a traditional dinner for my expat (and brit!) friends. i’m trying (in spite of my innate tendency to go over the top with everything) to keep it pretty simple, but I really do enjoy entertaining, and with 10 peeps, and plenty of alcohol, it’s bound to be fun.
i’ll miss the fams at home of course, but we had a bit of a “pre-Thanksgiving” whilst J and I were visiting, so I feel a bit better. for me, the worst is having no holiday off in the leadup to xmas, since it really kickstarts the whole season.
still and all, i have a lot to be grateful for. and that’s what matters.
