Celebrating Thanksgiving

By November 27, 2009 Celebrations, Foodie No Comments

Heart2Heart would like to share another beautiful article written by Mandy Chavez, a friend of my Dad who lives in the States. This was another article I kept for years in my computer and it proves that Thanksgiving can be what we want it to be.  For Heart2Heart and for many out there,  though it is an American holiday,  many choose to celebrate it just to give thanks. It is a time to pause and think about all the things we should be thankful for…….. and we just realize that there are just too many.    So, from now on, Thanksgiving is an official holiday at Heart2Heart 🙂

This year, we celebrated with Dad and Mom and some foreign guests.  And again, this is proof that we can interpret our own  thanksgiving- though we know that Thanksgiving is always associated with having turkey, my Mom prepared not only turkey but we had lechon and other Filipino dishes.  We had foreign guests and invited them to our family thanksgiving celebration.  I like my Mom’s version of thanksgiving because she “Philippinized it”
