I try to find something, however small, to be thankful for every day, but I like that Thanksgiving Day invites us to think about our own personal bounties and those of our family and friends, to think about our place in our families, our communities and the world, to think about what's really important and what we could do without if we had to, and to think about how we can contribute, on a daily basis, to making the world a better place for those we encounter, even if it's just a smile and a "thank you" to the people who sell us stuff at the corner store or who open a door for us. I hope everyone accepts this invitation to contemplate your own world and your place in it. As someone who's grateful for all the great people I've met here, the support I've gotten, both directly and indirectly, to pursue my musical muse through ukulele and even tenor guitar, and the joy of sharing my music journey with all of you, I wish you all a very happy (and contemplative) Thanksgiving, and a year filled with something, however small, to be thankful for every day.

I'm not sure what songs I'll play today that I might not play on any other day, but I've discovered there aren't enough Thanksgiving-specific songs, so maybe we should all write some....

It's a US-only holiday. Friends and my husband can't really relate to why it sucks so hard. You're supposed to call home, and no one wants to talk to you because they're so busy. But it's a scandal if you don't call... so it's the most isolating of the holidays for expats. Sure there are expat associations who throw something together. But it's not about the food. Christmas is different, everyone has their own traditions, but Thanksgiving is US-only (and maybe Canada who does it on a different day.).
