Sounds great! I love reading about Thanksgiving even though we don't do it. Purely vicarious.

I don't get to do Thanksgiving anymore (family too far away now) but I do throw a formal Yule dinner for my circle, and our various friends and family. We range from about 10-16, always a stretch in my small house, but it is pot-luck, which helps.

It is my favorite night of the year, but there are always people I never end up talking to...

I scandalized the British Boyfriend last year when I made candied yams with marshmallows on top to take to our Thanksgiving celebration. (Then I showed him green bean casserole just to complete his traumatization.)

But we went to a Turkey Trot yesterday, and it only took him a few seconds to realize that those things on people's headbands were supposed to be turkey legs XD I think he's starting to adjust.

He says if we move to the UK (looking very possible), I should host an American Thanksgiving. But heck, I've never hosted one in the US! :P
