ReplyDeleteBecause I don't live in America, I don't personally celebrate it, but over the years, people have gotten super mad at me for not celebrating it.
ReplyDeleteThere's no one memory that stands out...Thanksgiving has always been a huge, fun family dinner.
ReplyDeleteMy last Thanksgiving with my mom before she passed. She was so proud of the dinner and of course it was the best
ReplyDeleteIn truth I've never celebrated thanksgiving ...
ReplyDeleteMy most memorable was the year I worked at a residential treatment center for children aged 3-12. Some of the kids had parents and some did not. Each holiday the children were allowed to go home for one week with their parents. The children that did not have parents were allowed to go home with a staff person for a week at the staff person's home. I was allowed to take home a 10 year old boy, and we had a great time :)

Definitely the first year I started cooking the turkey for my family. I was about 12, I think, and I pulled the bird out to baste it, when I looked down and saw the pot holder I was using had caught on fire. It must have brushed the oven coil as I was pulling the turkey out. I remember feeling strangely calm, as I took the few steps over to the kitchen sink, threw the pot holder down, and turned the faucet full bore on it. I think some people would have panicked, but my mom was surprised I hadn't.
ReplyDeleteMy most memorable Thanksgiving experience was in 2nd grade when I decided to boycott Thanksgiving because I realized that we were celebrating genocide.
