After completely missing out on Thanksgiving last year, (I was in the States during Canadian Thanksgiving and in Canada during American Thanksgiving) it has been nice to join the forces of stuffed-with-turkey again. Yesterday a sweet couple in my church feasted me with a turkey dinner, and today my mom did the same. Yum! I just love Thanksgiving dinner!
It is different being in Canada for Thanksgiving. Its hard to describe, but it just feels different. Like the time of year is off (fall is just beginning as opposed to ending). It is not time to decorate for Christmas yet, which is what Thanksgiving always marked for us in the States. Its not Thursday. And the focus isn't on the Pilgrims. It's kind of weird, but that is how today feels. Still an enjoyable day, however! I have so much to be thankful for!
Oh, and it is also Carrie's birthday. Happy Birthday to her!
