Hello, Shannon! Nice to read you again. I'd like to ask you about american Thanksgiving. Is it celebrated only around a family? Is it a quiet holiday?

Hi! Every family celebrates differently. Some have small, formal gatherings. But my family is huge, and we have an informal celebration. Sort of "pot-luck" style, where everyone brings a dish to the feast. I wrote about it last year. See this post http://peacetraveler22.livejournal.com/59811.html. :)) I'll probably take photos and write about it again this year.

I think it's delighted to have a big family. Best wishes you in France!

Thanks, I'm looking forward to the trip! I have a great family. It's big and we actually like each other. :) So, holiday celebrations are always fun.

Thanks! Do you stay local for the holidays?

Yes. My extended family is pretty much in Maryland. My sister though is in New Mexico. But she can't travel. She just got out of major surgery. She's OK, but she won't be over my house for Thanksgiving this year.

Great! It seems like you have transitioned completely to an American lifestyle if you're making a Thanksgiving meal. :)
