holiday plans...

It's so strange to be in a country that doesn't celebrate Thanksgiving. They're already in full Christmas mode, which naturally I love. Still it adds an extra element of anxiety about my holiday plans. I already know that I'm helping host a few people for Thanksgiving dinner, so assuming we can cook something vaguely traditional, I feel ok (can I just insert a minor complaint here? Why does this country not import sweet potatoes? Can you even have a Thanksgiving dinner without some kind of sweet potato casserole????). Christmas, however, is another story: would I be less inclined to feel miserable about not being at home in a foreign environment where I'd be distracted, or in the relative familiarity of Diosd? Oh, the dilemma! and whether I travel on or after Christmas, I have to decide my plans soon to either order a eurail pass or book a flight, which is become more and more difficult the closer we get to the holiday. And where, exactly, shall I go?
