WOO! Thanksgiving is tomorrow! Me and Nicole and Sally have planned what will be known as "The Flat 7 Thanksgiving". Most of the flat will be there plus Neil (a friend of Bryan and Matt) and Lauren (a fellow American from Texas). We're doing a "potluck" type deal so everybody (well, not everybody because then we'd have 16 dishes, lmao) is bring food or drink.

And I'm making the turkey. Oh no! I'm excited and scared all at once because I have no idea how it will turn out. I mean, I've gotten pretty good at cooking stuff without recipes (you should really try my sauteed mushrooms, they're the best :P hehe) and I can make pumpkin pie and green bean casserole no problem. It should be interesting... I'm thinking of getting like a cheap table cloth too to make like Thanksgiving at home. OH! And we're all making turkeys out of construction paper by tracing our hands, like we did in elementary school! Right now, the people most excited about it are Sally (drink), Dan (mashed potatos), and Neil (cranberry sauce). I'll be sure to take loads of pictures so ya'll can see how it turns out :)

Next - Christmas! Me and Sally went to the pound shop yesterday to get decorations. We spent 3pounds each plus the 1.25 we spent each to split a small 3ft tree. We're waiting to decorate until after Thanksgiving but I want to put up the decorations now! I've been listening to Christmas music everyday and I have an "icicle" garland hanging in my room and we're making paper snowflakes for the windows and it's just going to be the BEST. I'm so unbelievable excited and happy that I've been hugging everybody, lol.

I just cannot wait!

YAY FOR THE HOLIDAY SEASON! And a happy winter to you all, however you may celebrate :)

oooohhh, lol

That's gotta be nice sometimes though because there are years where you don't have school on your birthday! My bday used to correspond with spring (easter) break during elementary, middle and high school. Unfortunately university is different and they have super early spring breaks

Have a good Thanksgiving though and happy birthday!!!

Re: HOLIDAY TIME!!
Thanksgiving eh? Sounds fun. Christmas, hmm, every year I seem to be less excited about any holiday season. What this country lacks is lack of snow...real snow not this, muddly icly pudles that form time to time. There hasn't been proper snow here for ages, well 2 years ago it was very nice, snowed whole night...it was well good. I love snow It gets slightly better up at north, especially Scotland, but nothing compared to the snows of russian winter...brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr...brrr...but good snnnoooowww...

Re: HOLIDAY TIME!!
I love pumpkin pie but it apparently doesn't exist in the UK... the only "pumpkin" thing they have in the massive Tescos store (think Walmart) is pumpkin SEEDS. And the shop employee still tried to sell them to me! I was like "dude, I'm making a pumpkin PIE, you cannot use just the seeds in it - it'll do NOTHING." I was SO mad... grrr! But we learned of a store to go to in Marks Tey that apparently sells American food, lol. So we're gonna check that out.
