Food and Ornaments

[ellestra]

I came back home from my Thanksgiving with American family. Well, it was American-Japanese family actually. This means that I did have the turkey and tried pumpkin pie for the first time (vegetable pie - sic!) but I also had some Japanese food. It involved a lot of soy. And I learned I don't like tofu. I liked the soup  we had today but I forgot what it's called. Anyway, going back to Thanksgiving, it's both like on TV and not. Obviously the food was there but it was generally more like more normal dinner except bigger and with taking family photos first. Another surprising thing was that I helped decorate the Christmas tree. I was told this last year but then I was with Poles living here so I didn't really see it. Americans put on the Christmas decorations at the end of November. They said they take them out on New Years. I wonder if it ever will stop feeling weird.
