ahhh, thanksgiving. one of my favorite holidays. at this time of year, i think most people are tired-- tired of school, tired of working, tired of the cold weather. thanksgiving is a nice remedy for all of this, and it's too bad the french don't have it, because i can tell everyone around here is pretty tired.
i'm feeling a little homesick. on one hand, i think it's rad that i'm not home for the holidays-- i like how i am doing something outside the norm. on the other hand, thanksgiving at home is a pretty cool day. my aunt's house always smells so heavenly when we walk in, and the heat is always cranked up giving everyone a warm and cosy feeling. my cousins are older now so they aren't always under foot, which is cool.
us expats are throwing a mini thanksgiving tonight if we can find a turkey in time. i'm in charge of bringing the wine, easy enough. but what i'll really, really miss today is onion dip with potato chips, a C family tradition. eat some for me!!
