Though we don't usually go to Starbucks in the land of Kaffehauses, in honor of this grand American holiday (and to mitigate my homesickness), Herr Johann and I put on an American Flag scarf and ordered a non-fat Latte (I cheated by forgoing the paper cup though). I'm pretty sure this is what I'd be doing with my sister and brother right now if I were home. Herr Johann ordered carcass with extra transfat.
This is the first year in my entire life I've ever been away from my family for Thanksgiving.
:(
Even when I was studying abroad in London I hopped on a flight to be back home for like 3 days. I have some things lined up this week and so decided not to head back to California, but now I'm starting to regret it.
Some photos from Thanksgivings past to indulge my nostalgia:

(My mom makes the turkey, I buy a Ham in a tin from CVS)
Our tradition is to have a large dinner party. My mom will make a turkey, and order sushi and a honeybaked ham. The kids all bring their instruments and we play afterward. One year my sister had a concert in Japan so we all flew over to have Thanksgiving dinner together (that year we only had sushi and it was moving on my plate because it had just been alive.)
Anyway, I am so thankful for my wonderful family. It is a blessing to have something which inspires longing. I hope everyone has as loving, kind and nurturing intellectually and spiritually family as mine.
HAPPY THANKSGIVING!
love love Love all around!!
