Happy Thanksgiving from Sweden!
Today I taught the students about Thanksgiving before we started our State projects today. The students were extremely jealous that in the United States, there is a holiday that gives you a day off. Even some of the students were confused as to why I was teaching and not taking the day to be with my friends here in Sweden. The students started working on their state projects and are learning a lot about some of the States in the United States. They are really excited to see how they are going to turn out in the end! I know I cannot wait!
Tonight, we had our own little Thanksgiving dinner in Umeå. Kim, Sara, Amanda, Erika, and I went to the grocery store and bought chicken for dinner. Unfortunately they did not have any turkey so we had to settle for chicken. We also made mashed potatoes, corn, and bought some french bread. It was not the same as a Thanksgiving dinner at home. We all agreed this would be a Thanksgiving to remember!
Hope everyone has fun on Black Friday and getting in the holiday spirit for Christmas. Sweden is already in the process because this weekend starts the first weekend of Advent for the Swedish... that means Christmas lights are starting to go up all around us. The only thing we are missing is the snow! Which I have been told numerous times that there is suppose to be snow by now, and there isn't. Maybe we brought over some of the weather from America!
Well, Happy Thanksgiving Everyone! Hope you enjoyed all the food you could eat, since I missed it this year. But it looks like I will be trying to convince my parents make me my Thanksgiving meal when I return to the States ;)
