I'm used to watching the leaves change and the feeling the chill in the air to let me know that the fall has arrived and the holidays are just around the corner. I have to say, this temperate and consistent weather has really thrown off my seasonal radar. So, I was a little surprised last week to get an invite from our friend Graham to help decorate his Christmas Tree yesterday. What?! It can't be time for that already! Admittedly it was a little early, as Graham is Canadian so he doesn't have the normal Thanksgiving milestone to get past as we do in America. It was great fun, of course, and a nice recalibration for my internal clock - I can't believe November is more than half way done. Here is a photo of our final product:
We also enjoyed some festive (in color only) red and green drinks. Graham was making his signature Bloody Ceaser (one of my all time favorites and something I NEVER thought I'd be able to enjoy in Ecuador) and I brought fixings for what I was calling a Peppermint Patty. Delicious!
We also realized that Thanksgiving is Thursday!! No acknowledgement of that truly American Holiday here so we will probably be skipping it entirely this year. But, we hope all our wonderful readers have a great Turkey Day on Thursday!!
