Their way of celebrating Thanksgiving

Deccan Chronicle  

A festival of togetherness and lots of good food is one of the busiest days for the Americans as they celebrate Thanksgiving today. Her family’s Thanksgiving traditions include great American classics like a stuffed turkey, sweet potatoes with marshmallows and green bean casserole topped with crunchy fried onions. Thanksgiving to me is firstly one of the best American traditions, rooted in our history, widely shared, and yet probably a little different for every family. Like many Americans, we’ve built up a traditional menu of favourite dishes from family and past Thanksgiving feasts.” Nicole, wife of Akash Suri who is in the Foreign Service, shares that they definitely miss out on having all members of their family at Thanksgiving but they do try to have at least some of them come and visit them around the holidays which makes things easier for them. Thanksgiving for them is a little reminder of their family and friends back home but also a reminder of how lucky they are to live in so many different cultures, meet new people and make some new family in every country they are posted in.
