Technically it's approaching Thanksgiving morning at home and here in Korea it's Thanksgiving night but Happy Thanksgiving all around! Today was a first for many things. This was the first time RCP is working on a holiday (let me clarify, also working LATE on a holiday). This is the first holiday season that I'm not working (that's what I'm most thankful for this holiday season :)). This was the first time I went to a French Village on Thanksgiving. This is the first time I had Italian food for Thanksgiving. This was the first time I went shopping on Thanksgiving. Above all, this was the first time I decorated for Christmas on Thanksgiving. As you can see, it was an interesting way to spend the holiday, but fun none-the-less and amongst the nice company of Heather and Pria. The highlight of the day though was when the Korean girl at High Street Market wished me a Happy Thanksgiving, when I went there looking for paprika.
I always think the weather is a huge part of a holiday
and this morning was 30 degrees and clear blue sky, just the way Thanksgiving should be.
It didn't get above 35 degrees either, so the long down coat is back in action.
Thanksgiving lunch with Pria and Heather.
A First: Seafood Pasta on Thanksgiving
A Winter Wonderland at Kim's Club.
They had a real explosion of Christmas. It was so nice to see.
Looks like Bloomingdales!
Christmas decorations. Done. In 5 minutes.
From what we've heard, procuring a real, live Christmas tree here seems to be an enormous
amount of effort, so we've decided to forgo a normal-sized tree.
It also makes me very happy that my decorations are real, not sparkly, and not Koreanized.
