My Thanksgiving dinner was wonderful. While it was more like a massive dinner party, it had a 27 pound turkey, mashed potatoes, greens beans, and apple pie so I couldn't have asked for anything more being 9,000 miles away from home. It was a fun experience because, in addition to the Americans, there were people from all over the world. I know we had Brazil, Italy, India, Iran, Denmark, South Africa, and several other countries represented.

Our turkey carver!
It was great to share our traditions with people from all over the world! Someone had never had gravy before and another had never had an apple pie! I think everyone had a really great time! It was a unique Thanksgiving! I was able to talk to the family in San Diego for awhile when I got back to my dungeon which made it a successful day of giving thanks!
My apple pie was a success =)
When I left the apartment where dinner was, I walked outside and it was snowing. As I made my way to Bahnhofstrasse (the main street in Zurich) where they had their Christmas lighting ceremony earlier that night. So I really did walk out of Thanksgiving into Christmas. It was such a crazy experience to see such an obvious visual of the holidays changing.
(Sorry about those pictures, they don't capture how pretty the street actually looked but I will work on getting something better)
Then I woke up in the next morning to this in our backyard...
So winter is here and Christmas is just around the corner! It is time to embrace winter and what it has to offer!
