It was a non-traditional Thanksgiving, far from America, with mostly not-American friends and family. And it was a joy, eating together, being with each other and being grateful. Even if I did have to explain to my mother several times that Thanksgiving had nothing to do with the War of Independence so even English people were allowed to eat a lot and be grateful for each other and their lives.
@neilhimself Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family. As a Brit living in Illinois with my American family, I get to fully enjoy giving thanks and not worry about treason day as I jokingly call the 4th to them.

Married to a Brit and we lived in the town that boasts The Turning Point of the RW. Every year a parade. I suggested to the mayor that we could spice up the parade by putting my hubs at the head of it and running him out of town hehe 😉
