We actually had a very nice Thanksgiving here in Japan. We celebrated on Sunday instead of Thursday. None of us had any time off during the week - Thursday was just another day. The pilgrims did not stop off in Japan on the way to the US so the idea of Thanksgiving is not big over here.
Before having a traditional turkey dinner with all the fixings we played football with some friends. Sean's hands are a little small, but he has a decent grip. It is too soon to say what position he will get a scholarship for.
There is a park on the island where we tossed the ball around. It is near the apartment of our friends who hosted the dinner. The weather has gotten cool lately so we have to bundle the little guy up when we head out. He seems to enjoy the hat and gloves. I know his mom loves putting them on him.
The dinner was great. It was nice to have most of the comfort foods of home. Of course we still missed spending time with family and friends from home, but it was the next best thing. Sean can certainly say that he had an interesting first Thanksgiving.
