Preparing to be Thankful
The atmosphere is building towards Thanksgiving which takes place on Thursday. Ever since Halloween, the shops have been full of little models of pilgrims and wooden turkeys. I've even seen giant inflatible versions, but only in New Jersey at the weekend. Obviously no one in Naperville would have anything so tasteless! (There's probably a law against it!)
The Food Network on TV shows nothing but Thanksgiving recipes. Meals here are lavish at the best of times, so goodness knows what we are in for! I must have put on about 20 lbs just watching.
The meal seems a strange mixture of savoury goodies and dessert, all served as the same time. The main course seems to consist of a turkey three sizes too big to fit in the oven, sweet potatoes and marshmallows mixed together, covered in more sugar and 40 different kinds of pumpkin dishes.
The holiday actually spreads into Friday too, with sales starting in some shops at midnight, others around 4 a.m.
