Thanksgiving .... In October???

Yesterday it was Thanksgiving!

Yes, I know it was October, but we celebrated yesterday for a couple of reasons.

First, because Mick, Amy (friends from Church) and their children normally celebrate Thanksgiving in October.

"Why?" I hear you ask.

Because Amy is Canadian and they observe Thanksgiving on the second Monday of October . So, instead of getting together on the American day or the Canadian day, we compromised by celebrating somewhere in the middle.


The second reason is that November 26th, which is the American Thanksgiving this year, (and also our 15th wedding anniversary!!!) is a normal work day here in England.

Therefore we decided to celebrate yesterday, with good friends, good food and because all the pumpkins disappear from the store immediately after 31st October!!!
