Note about Thanksgiving...

While indeed Thanksgiving doesn't exist as a holiday in France, Christmas surely does... I liken the family closeness spent at the Christmas Eve and Christmas Day meal to be very much like the Thanksgiving feast in the U.S. - minus the Macy's Day Parade and football all day long... But, hey... Even if we are so different as a culture... We are very much alike when it comes to celebrating an important holiday "en famille."
People don't take out enough time to be thankful, as it is... So, for this one day.... (though I mentally note EVERY day how thankful I am-- even if just for the simple and little things in life) of the year, it's nice to openly give "Thanks" and "Gratitude" to our friends and family and others around us.....
It's just a nice, warm and fuzzy feeling all-around!!  Happy Thanksgiving to ya'll and even a Happy Thanksgiving to all you Frenchies out there... Even though I know you don't celebrate Thanksgiving!!!!
