Thanksgiving is still only celebrated as a real holiday in the U.S and Canada, which is a terrible shame since it is one of the only holidays that has not turned into a tinselly-twinkly-glittery commercial affair. It remains simple and true: Thanksgiving is a time to sit down and eat dinner with the people you love and to remember all the things you have to be thankful for. I think we should all celebrate thanksgiving.
Here are some of the things I am thankful for right now:
- My family
- Really good friends
- Christmas being around the corner
- Living in Galway, with the best housemate, in our lovely (if slightly disfunctional) apartment
- Being able to keep warm in this chilly weather
- This blog (my little outlet)
- Having a job (albeit temporary) in a recession
- Hot meals, and not needing to avail of government cheese handouts
- My credit card
- Home never feeling far away
- That most of my worries can be eased with long chats and cups of tea
Happy Thanksgiving everyone! x

Such lovely things to be thankful for! I am really excited because I am planning a trip back to the US in 2012, and I will be with my US based family at Thanksgiving! Which means BLACK FRIDAY shopping, and turkey feasts! And of course spending time with my family!
