While my American readers are celebrating Thanksgiving, we have moved onto Christmas already up here in the north.
Tomorrow we’re hosting Matt’s Mom’s side of the family for an early Christmas dinner, and in between vacuuming up drywall dust and supervising the carpet installers who arrive this morning–giving new meaning to last minute party prep–we’ve added a new animal sighting to our list.
Thanks to Matt’s parents for venturing south of the border and braving American grocery shoppers to bring us this turkey. In addition to the obvious Thanksgiving date conflict between Canada and the U.S. I think we may have inadvertently undermined 200 years of peace when my MIL’s friend Marg grabbed the last three turkeys in the store so that we could have the pick of the poultry.
I’ll post a full party wrap-up next week. Until then, I’m setting aside all cultural differences to wish everyone a good weekend and all of my American readers a very happy Thanksgiving.
Have fun!
Thanks Heidi!
You got a really good deal on the price of that monster! I hope your party went well.
We would have paid more than twice that here in Canada. Having in-laws willing to brave the pre-Thanksgiving sales in the States means good deals for us!
I love that carpet-installing is last minute party prep! 🙂
