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 Thank you for good tidings. Here in the UK, I cannot celebrate Thanksgiving until I have time on the weekend, and will invite all non-Americans except my son. And I will say I am pleased that my ancestors took a boat to North America and were not turned away by Native Americans. And I’m thankful I was welcomed to the UK - sadly not all guests are. #ThanksgivingNotInUSA
