Usually when Thanksgiving rolls around, there isn't much for our family to get together and eat seeing as our closest relatives live an unreasonable distance from us. I am sad to say that the image of Thanksgiving isn't what our household is like. This year we actually had a turkey for change and there was plenty of food to go around. It wasn't anything formal but it fit what would qualify as a Thanksgiving dinner.
I definitely enjoy the holidays, especially the days off. The one I enjoy most is around New Years where I look forward to the new year. One of the strangest and coolest experiences I had was when I went back to visit with family and on new years eve ( in Taiwan) I went to a really nice hotel and celebrated. Then my brother, sister, and I managed to get into an 18+ club but it actually was not that exciting since we couldn't do anything. When it was five minutes to new years (08 I believe) we all went outside and the Taipei 101 burst into lights and there was a spectacular light show for a couple of minutes. The cool part after was that when you turned on the TV you could see New Years in NY or Austrailia and around the world.
