GIVING THANKS

I spent my first Thanksgiving at the Lady's house in the 'burbs of Philadelphia with her family and their family and their friends and a few of their son's school friends.

It's like having Christmas dinner twice in a month. At least at Christmas you know you have the lean quiet month to digest your food and avoid letters from the bank about your debt.

We celebrated in the evening with a traditional(?) belly dancer. She tinkled and twirled and shimmied her curves. I had had a little to drink and had to be pulled away by the Lady's father for dancing too much with her. I think only married men get the privilige - or so it seemed.

Banished to the corner, I was asked several times by the (Middle Eastern) family if we celebrated TG in England. They didn't quite get it when I replied and said the rest of England thanked god when all that lot left Plymouth too.
