Celebrating Our First Thanksgiving in the UK with Friends (#Friendsgiving)

On the fourth Thursday of every November, American families all across the world celebrate Thanksgiving, and we were no exception. But this year was a little different. This was our first Thanksgiving spent in the UK. However instead of family, we celebrated with friends of ours - another British-American couple who related to the feeling of not being home for the holiday season. Because Thanksgiving itself is not a holiday in the UK, we instead celebrated on the weekend. On Friday night we drove from Nottingham to Manchester, in order to spend the entire Saturday cooking and eating (just as we would in the USA). Though we were initially unsure of whether the day would feel like Thanksgiving, we were pleasantly surprised. Our morning was spent preparing the turkey and other foods. During the afternoon, we snacked, played games and waited for the turkey to finish cooking. Around 5pm, we sat around the table and ate until we couldn't eat any more - then spent the evening watch movies and decorating the Christmas tree.
