1st thanksgiving
i haven't spent Thanksgiving on Guam in nearly a decade. the commencement of the Hoilday season has always been second nature. already we have planned our menu for our lavish feast amongst friends. we have already planned our caravan for black friday strategizing. we have already bought our fresh christmas tree and the decorations are out with our scarves and coats.
signs of the season are different on Guam...the plastic lights are starting to line the streets. christmas party fundraisers are in full swing. kmart's christmas decorations are on display. and frankly, not too many of my friends care to cook up a storm. i'm not gonna lie...this is strangely difficult.
everyone has their own families to gather with.
will we be watching a new episode of grey's anatomy after dinner? will there be a football game for the guys to obsess about? will there be a pool of names to pick from for our gift exchange?
