Thanksgiving 2019

In the US, Thanksgiving is a nationwide holiday, traditionally centred about giving thanks for a bountiful harvest. It's akin to the religious Pahiyas Festival in Lucban, Quezon but Thanksgiving is more secular and less colourful in nature. Typically, a Thanksgiving dinner has roasted turkey as a centrepiece. This year, we didn't have turkey. Instead, we had grilled ribs, baked macaroni, bread, mashed potatoes, and vegetables... and ice cream!


Our family has a lot to be thankful for this year. We're particularly blessed because (among many other blessings) Gabriel has given us so much happiness for the past year; Ate Maddie is graduating magna cum laude from her nursing program; Daddy's working as a stationary engineer; Kuya Allan started working in his dream job in San Jose; and Tita Babie and Tito Donnie finally got their church wedding. Not everyone is in this picture because our family's big party is Christmas.
