Tomorrow is Thanksgiving in USA. It is always on a Thursday, usually the last Thursday of November. My family tradition is to have a large turkey dinner at either my Mom's mom's house or at my parents' house. This year, it is being held at my parents house. My mom (and usually one of us kids, this year my brother) make the turkey with the stuffing (stuffing is bread cubes, a creamy soup, veggies and spices mixed together and baked inside the turkey) and the gravy. Then others bring dishes or help bake them at my parents'. This year I am making two desserts - one is church windows which is chocolate-covered marshmallows, and the other is sweet potato pie. I'm not sure how well the pie crust will turn out the first time, I hear it is very hard to make pie crust turn out right. But we shall see!
Thanksgiving is a time to celebrate the things that we are thankful for. I am thankful for my family, my job, food and shelter and that beauty can be found in nearly everything. What are you thankful for?
We're supposed to get the first "real" snow tomorrow and Friday, yay! We have seen snowflakes but just a few and not enough to dust the ground. It will be nice to see the first snow!
Happy Thanksgiving!
