I am sure my students will appreciate this as much as I did.<br />xxxMaria Jesúsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2292239533121833369.post-7587563933422628332012-11-24T02:20:24.287+01:002012-11-24T02:20:24.287+01:00Hello, argh the joy of Thanksgiving. As a foreigne...Hello, argh the joy of Thanksgiving. As a foreigner, who has been living in the US for over 21 years, i must say this holiday has been growing on me. It is not about the Turkey or the gravy (i despise both, as i do not eat meat) or the green beens, but about enjoying the day in itself. We have been visiting my hostfamily every year for this holiday enjoying a not so traditional feast, because my hostfather's background is Lebanese. So in addition to the turkey (which hardly anyone eats anymore) a middle eastern feast is presented. And to describe it in one word it would be: scrumptious. What i enjoy about this holiday is the part of slowing down for the day, sleeping in, taking a walk (not this year however), watching the parade (yes it is a big thing..i heard people prepare for it a year at a time) and visiting with friends. Simple as that. Sometimes it is a good day to see a movie at night and sometimes it is just good coming home after consuming 1 million and 5 calories and putting the belly up in the air. Many individuals of course enjoy preparing after a day of eating for Black Friday, the biggest shopping day of the year. This year, it was a bit controversial, as many big stores opened on T-day evening or at midnight. Many workers were planning on demonstrating etc. I certainly do not understand the frenzy of shopping in the middle of the night for the newest tech gadget or worse camp out in the front of the store a week prior to the opening of Black Friday. But then again, this is America.<br />On that happy note, i will rest my belly (as i continued overeating today) and enjoy a quiet Black Friday in the comfort of our home, listening to the wind outside blowing over Lake Erie while snow flakes are coming down...(yesterday we had 13 degrees and sunshine)...<br />Greetings<br />t<br />tanjanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2292239533121833369.post-219036830792221042012-11-23T14:14:10.643+01:002012-11-23T14:14:10.643+01:00I know that this is not about Thanksgiving Day Par...I know that this is not about Thanksgiving Day Parade but I want to share with you this beautiful song I've just listened to.
