Being British I don't know much about the celebration. I understand that a lot of turkey is involved. So that's always good! And looking up Thanksgiving I've found that Canada has a thanksgiving as well. This I never knew so a very belated happy thanksgiving to you as well.
Are presents given at thanksgiving? Not according to Yahoo answers. Which I suppose is a relief as Christmas already costs a lot - not to mention that some people are difficult to buy for. I've started to get my presents and should be ready for the big day.
Around this time last year, actually the week before Christmas day, I was in Nepal.
This was for a pilgrimage. Is this getting more confusing? I'm a Buddhist and while it may sound like a contradiction to be celebrating Christmas, and not meaning to offend anyone, there has been a celebration at this time of year long before Christmas.
Spending time in Nepal last year, though I didn't necessarily think so at the time, was good. It was good in its self but also I missed the crazy frenzy inducing advertisements! I doubt I'll be going again soon as mum and dad paid last year - I am horribly poor.
Last night as I walked down to my parents house I took this picture of the moon.
Annoyingly the clouds kept hiding it. Pictures make the blog and I'm beginning to see why my brother likes to take his camera wherever he goes. As time goes on I will find more interesting pictures and maybe even ones for the Dictionary Stories - which haven't been done in a while.
Tomorrow I'm back in Uni tomorrow. I'm reading out another chapter of Heliopolis.
There will be another post soon.
