Thanksgiving the Thailand Way
Here is Thailand we get to celebrate Thanksgiving with friends that are family. It becomes a real expensive dinner as the American food items must be imported. Still, we love having roast turkey, baked ham, green bean casserole, sweet potatoes and homemade rolls. Of course we had a few Thai salads and Thai fresh fruit, but the night ended with pie, pie and more pie!
Living outside the United States I have become aware of how very blessed we are as a nation. I have also become aware how many Americans do not realize the blessing and freedoms they have. Life abroad has taught me many things, mostly that we as people are more similar then we are different. We can learn to live with each other and celebrate our differences, isn't that what the first Thanksgiving was all about.
