Thanksgiving in Singapore

Thanksgiving is one of our favorite days of the year.  We usually spend it with my family in Upstate New York.  John (my brother) and Renee (his wife) usually host, and we start the day with a game of touch football.  (Renee would argue that HER day starts much earlier than that, and she's right - thanks Renee).  Most of the time, there are no trips to the emergency room.  Most of the time.  I missed out on this year's game, along with watching American football on television.

Since Thanksgiving is not a recognized holiday in Singapore, Bryce had to attend school for the second time in his life on Thanksgiving Day.  Yep, he attended school on Thanksgiving Day in kindergarten when we lived here the last time.

We decided to host our own Thanksgiving Dinner with friends.  While it wasn't the same as having the whole family together, we had a nice dinner at our place.  Friends from USA, Australia, Singapore, India, Brunei, Norway and Philippines joined us for a traditional (well, at least our traditional) Thanksgiving Dinner with all the fixings.

Heading back to the USA tonight for Christmas!  Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all!
