Thanksgiving & My Birthday

For twenty-some years, I have always spent Thanksgiving with my family. For the first time in my life, I missed the turkey and after-Thanksgiving shopping. However, I can't complain ... I am having the time of my life.



Not only was it Thanksgiving, but it was also my birthday. This coincidence only happens every so often, so it was easy for my international friends to celebrate both Thanksgiving and my birthday.

Some of us had a nice Thanksgiving/birthday dinner (but it did not include turkey or ham), and then we met other friends out afterwards. Although it wasn't the traditional American Thanksgiving, I had a good time with everyone. I got gifts from all around the world to help remind me where everyone's from!
