I can't believe we're the 18th of December already!So throughout the coming week, I'll post a few things that happened since I came back.
First Thanksgiving!
Good old Wikipedia says:
Thanksgiving in North America had originated from a mix of European and Native traditions. Typically in Europe, festivals were held before and after the harvest cycles to give thanks for a good harvest, and to rejoice together after much hard work with the rest of the community.At the time, Native Americans had also celebrated the end of a harvest season. When Europeans first arrived to the Americas, they brought with them their own harvest festival traditions from Europe, celebrating their safe voyage, peace and good harvest.
Julia and Camille cooked us a fantastic Thanksgiving meal! It was a great experience to be part of this holiday.
Apparently thanksgiving is supposed to be a bigger family-holiday than Christmas is... hard to imagine!
Joe helped make it all happen and Q, Jamie and Mercy joined us for the meal.
