Guatemala is a country that has sunny skies, warm summer-like days, and a Christmas season that started immediately after Dia de los Santos on November 1st. What does that mean for us Thanksgiving celebrators? We say screw it and go all out anyway :)
On Thursday morning, the other English teachers and I took it upon ourselves to make elementary-style decorations. This meant turkey hands, cornucopias, pilgrims, indians, and even a turkey mask. It was all in preparation for dinner. Cleverly titled "Thanksgiving on the Side," everyone was asked to bring a side dish. While we didn't gobble up any turkey, we did enjoy green beans, rosemary potatoes, pumpkin bread, chicken, and molten chocolate cake! It was a heart-warming way to spend the evening sharing one of our favorite holidays with our home-away-from-home family.
