Since Thanksgiving is an American holiday, Thursday was a normal day for us. Pete went to work (in Sweden), the kids went to school and I played all day long. Come Saturday it was a different story. Our friends from church, the Atchleys, hosted several families from America to come over and celebrate. Of course we couldn't resist inviting our good friends Shane and Emma (from Northern Ireland and Preston, England) to come and join the festivities and find out what all the fuss is about.
Everyone pitched in and brought different dishes and it was truly an amazing feast. Some families, like ours, came with food from the US (cranberry sauce and canned pumpkin) while others did a little shopping at the American Market in Nyon (expensive but great when you are really dying for something back home). There were 5 different kinds of pie and of course were topped off with whipped cream, ice cream or both. Apparently it doesn't matter which country you eat Thanksgiving dinner in. You always go home full.
No meal in Switzerland would be complete without fruit and cheese for appetizers
