Well, this post has been late in coming, but it's here!
Thanksgiving is purely an American/Canadian holiday. Well, of course right? It's a celebration of the Pilgrims in America. It's amazing how many time someone would say "Thanksgiving, what's that?" And I would think "What's that? Thanksgiving??? What do you- Oh. Right. Not American. Alright, Thanksgiving is..."
Thanks to our amazing galley staff, we had a Thanksgiving feast worthy of any American home. Turkey, mashed potatos, gravy, sweet potatos, pie, just like Mom would make! (If your Mom cooked for ninety people that is!)
We decorated with tableclothes, flowers and wicker balls. The entire crew gathered to celebrate. A brief discription of the holiday and it's meaning, plus, special thanks to Larry, a reading of George Washington's Thanksgiving Prayer.
