today it is thanksgiving. its also called turkey day, i learned from various sources, which i find very funny. as the sign above for the liquor store at mc grath highway, leading to somerville where we lived the first 3 months. however, no liquor today. this store was closed as most other stores as well (even many fast food restaurants were closed) basically, everything was closed, aside from a small shop here and there..
i just spent the evening reading up on thanksgiving on wikipedia. that was very informative. maybe i recapitulate all that knowledge here once; there may be some origins also of this feast in the netherlands! but now its time for bed...
happy thanksgiving! :) we had some chicken nuggets... thats what we could find in our freezer being closest to turkey..

This is as far as I know a holiday that is only celebrated in the US. I hope you enjoyed the chicken nuggets!
yes, they were good!
ah, as for thanksgiving. they say that its loosely related to harvest feasts held in europe long ago. ah.. i will try to write about it today! i never gave a thought about thanksgiving and where it came from, but the history is actually quite interesting....
