Another lovely Thanksgiving has passed. This year was a bit quieter since I celebrated early with a Friendsgiving in Japan. We are also in between trips, so I wasn’t really up to organizing the cooking or getting people to come celebrate with us. So, it was a blessing to be able to join friends at their place where they put a lot of love in the labor of cooking a delicious meal for us and other friends in the area.
In previous years, we have gone into town and eaten at a restaurant that specially prepares a turkey dinner for the expats around. It just didn’t have the same feel for me, so I did not want to repeat that outing. I appreciate many people in our lives, but I always want to spend this holiday with those I hold dear and to enjoy a meal in a more intimate setting.
Next year, we plan to be around, probably, so I just might organize something, but there’s a lot of time before then.
I am thankful to have had this lovely quiet holiday with delicious food and good company!
