Ahh, thanksgiving, my absolute favorite holiday. Christmas is cool but I don't really get gifts anymore because according to my family I've crossed the santa-stage treshold and I am officially too old for that and have been for a while, New Year's is really not that great, 4th of July is nice too but it more often than not requires a lot of work if you are really into seeing the fireworks, which I am, and then you have thanksgiving, a day dedicated to eating and being thankful. How great is that? I love that we live in a country where we've made that a national holiday. And then of course there's black Friday which seems inescapable this year (can you say 'Best Buy'?).
My mom's making the turkey this year, which my sister has named Pablo for no apparent reason and we're spending it a my aunt's. The turkey is really the only traditional item we have on the table since most of the other food is typical Colombian food. Because I can't cook I promised I would get dessert so I'm buying my favorite cold stone cake and I might try making flan (or not). I am so looking forward to it not only because you get to gobble up so much food and unabashedly put weight on but also because I genuinely enjoy the feeling of meeting up with family and enjoy each other's company for the sake of having a decent meal together. In a year as hard as this one I am thankful for still having a job and for having the supportive family I have been blessed with.
What are you thankful for?
BLACK FRIDAY...Here I come, I will be looking at the sales from outside the store but nontheless I will be there. Darn this "no money nonsense.
ReplyDeletehaha.. i've actually never been out on black friday.. i close my shades and lights and stay in the safety of my house.
ReplyDeletei love thanksgiving too! i'm so excited for the food!!! i started working out so i don't have to worry too much about holiday weight haha..
What I love about this time of year? Hmm, Food, food, drinking, food, food, drinking some more, going out, drinking some more...I think you got the idea...:)

ReplyDeleteHappy Thanksgiving, Oriana.
U are so coool i like the fact that u mention that turkey is the only American food or thanksgiving item on the table. Lets see am making pernil(pork) con costillas(ribbs) con rice and beans and the rest is tortillas con ensalada and salad.. Half Ecuadorian and Honduras.

Your Thanksgiving sounds like mine, plenty of family and friends and food. I didnt have the typical one this year but it was fun all the same.
ReplyDeleteLOL @ Pablo..I'm sure he was tasty! I am thankful for my family as well.I had A LOT of food this weekend. This year we did something different with our turkey. We deep fried it instead of baking it. It was sooo amazing.
