The Thanksgiving holiday has come and past...it's definitely been interesting celebrating this very American holiday in a foreign land. In fact, I think over the last two years, I have had more "Thanksgiving Dinners" with all the fixings than the previous 4 years in the states....and they are all unique...
First, we attended a dinner celebrating the 25th Anniversary of ICSV on Tuesday night where we ate, you guessed it, a Turkey dinner.
The next day, I was walking through the cafeteria when I noticed that the students' plates were piled high with Turkey and mashed potatoes...so I decided to buy lunch in the cafeteria for the first time.
For Thursday, we were approached by a couple of members of the class of 2012 to host a Thanksgiving celebration for the students who didn't have anywhere else to go...we agreed, but realized that our flats were entirely too small for a group of 26. We decided to have the meal in my classroom. Good times.
While it was not an official class event, over 2/3 of the kids were able to join us!

This year was definitely one of the more surreal Thanksgiving weeks...but it was a great week, nonetheless...
We still have one more Thanksgiving-esque meal on tap for this Friday at the Staff Christmas party...although I guess, technically, it would be a Christmas meal. Either way, it will be delicious.
