What are your plans for Thanksgiving?
We have an unusual situation in that two of our kids (in the mid west) always have to work the holiday and the third (in N. CA) usually does in-law duty. Since we prefer to see our grandson at Christmas, we don't mind the tradeoff, but it usually means that Chris and I don't celebrate Thanksgiving with immediate family.
We've celebrated Thanksgiving in various parts of the world, including Hong Kong (Thanksgiving dinner at the HK Harbour Hotel is to die for), the UK (the locals don't know what Thanksgiving is all about), Maui and various other places. This year we plan to repeat last year and celebrate with our other Framily; A small group of boats will congregate at a location on the CA Delta. Chris has the spit roast ready to cook the turkey (she's told me I'm in charge of turkey this year) and others will bring the other food, trimmings and pie.
FWIW this year we celebrate our 26th year in our "new land" and we have a lot to be thankful for, including the close friends we've shared many of these years with and the many friends and acquaintances that have developed.
