Christmas is too much fun to have only once a year
So, that’s it: another Christmas over. Forget the presents; what’s really special about Christmas is seeing family and friends and all that delicious food and drink with some time off work. It’s a pity that we only do this sort of thing once a year.
But, wait … The Americans effectively do it twice a year because, a month before Christmas, they have Thanksgiving. I’ve never understood why other countries don’t take on this idea. After all, we’ve borrowed so many other American traditions, most notably Halloween.
OK. So, if Thanksgiving isn’t coming to us, perhaps we can go to Thanksgiving. The idea has been on my bucket list for some time.
Now our good American friends Mike and Laura – who live outside Washington DC – have invited us over to spend Thanksgiving 2016 with them. So we don’t have to wait 12 months for another Christmas-type event. Great stuff!

Thanksgiving is wonderful! That holiday is all about the food. Not so much sweets, like Christmas is around here, but definitely turkey, stuffing, potatoes, and the like. And pumpkin pie. You will love it!

Never had pumpkin pie, Dana. Always enjoy new experiences.
