I went to college 11 hours from home and then grad school 5 states from home. I was the recipient of some great hospitality from wonderful people like you and Mr. Lime. Now I return the favor. Easter and Thanksgiving are big deals in my own house. Only for financial reasons am I not hosting one this year and instead going to a friends house who has offered. I'll still make my Brandy Pumpkin Pie though!Moosekahlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16996677781862155900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17765202.post-43679544905563135412009-10-20T00:26:42.497-04:002009-10-20T00:26:42.497-04:00Ah, you've just reminded me of one year in gra...Ah, you've just reminded me of one year in graduate school, when I made Thanksgiving dinner for my sister, mom, dad, and two fellow students: one from Morocco and one of Italian heritage from Providenc, Rhode Island (he was the one with the most culture shock, at our university in the West).Jocelynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03227519811818290510noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17765202.post-22930133119900305392009-10-19T19:48:21.250-04:002009-10-19T19:48:21.250-04:00For that matter, Halloween comes even before that....For that matter, Halloween comes even before that.

This year I went into Kohl's mid September and the whole store was all dressed for Christmas!!! If the music had been playing... I guarantee someone would have heard about it! Heck... the leaves hadn't even started to change.<br /><br />As for Thanksgiving... having a daughter in law that is Native American... I'm not the biggest fan.

Thanksgiving stuff Nov 1-30<br />Christmas stuff Dec 2 -25<br />No Christmas stuff on Dec 1 because thats my bday and I dont want Santa to come to my party.<br /><br />And so on.<br /><br />I really dont like Christmas. Thank goodness I married a Jew.<br /><br />Have a great week and I hear you about that elevator music at work.

I've posted in the past about <a href="http://runningintheyard.blogspot.com/2006/12/advent.html" rel="nofollow">Advent</a>, and how our family tries to approach Christmas (Suldog posted the link over at his place, but heck, it's a good post, so I'll link it here, too). Suffice it to say that we're not big fans of the December consumerist frenzy, much less of revving it up in October. . .<br /><br />Your 'international' experiences of Thanksgiving are quite fascinating; and perhaps all the moreso because, unlike Christmas, which is more-or-less 'universal', Thanksgiving is a specifically 'American' thing.<br /><br />And, between this post and the previous one, you remind me of a late-October blizzard of a few years back (OK, at least ten; we were still in our old house), which resulted in two days of no electricity. That was quite a little adventure, lemme tellya. . .Desmond Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07829959101276150279noreply@blogger.com
