A Happy Thanksgiving....

Happy Thanksgiving to you, America. I hope it will be a good one. I'm not an American, so I'm not given to such sentiment and excite of a Thursday as this one. But you don't only mourn with people; you celebrate with them too....

Christmas isn't the only wonderful holiday around. Many people have other favorite holidays such as Kwanzaa (haha...what's that again?). But trust me, Thanksgiving is cool. Who cares about my opinion, anyway? Air tickets are sold out. And many Americans have travelled on the Greyhound to far places to be with family. However, what's a good Thanksgiving?

A good Thanksgiving is one that has...

Turkey

Salad

Mashed potatoes

Akara

Gravy

Shito

Cranberry sauce

Pumpkin pie

Eba

Olives

Mmimi

Gbegiri

Ewedu

Egusi soup

Kunnu

Amala

Akpu

Em...a good Thanksgiving is the one without Uncle Gerry at the table (you are welcome to add Uncle Buhari). A good Thanksgiving is done in Italy, Canada, Spain, Ghana...Nigeria? A good Thanksgiving is done...at home, Eagle Square (trust Nigeria, it's supposed to be a national holiday with millions of naira budgeted for it), at an amusement park/movie theatre....

Have a lovely holiday with family and old friends. Maybe someday I shall know what an America Thanksgiving feels like again...(sob, sob)...lol. 

Oh! I'm thankful for this blog that lets me speak to you.
