Thanksgiving in Japan

This year we spent Thanksgiving at Josh's place. It was really nice to celebrate Thanksgiving. Last year, we didn't really know any other American's, and since it isn't a holiday here, we didn't really even notice that it passed by. Luckily, this year, we had some friends that had their stuff together and invited us over. We started out the evening with a few drinks, and after Josh slaving over his toaster oven all day cooking (since ovens are apparently not allowed in Japan), we had a nice dinner and even went around telling each other what we were thankful for. It was my first time celebrating Thanksgiving with people other than my family, and though it was a bit different, Jeremy and I had a really nice time. From the pictures, you'd think we were a happy family who color coordinated for the occasion. It's like the picture could have gone on a Christmas card or something. After dinner, we continued to drink wine and the night went a little wild and crazy. We missed our families. But, we also enjoyed our stuffed mushrooms and mashed potatoes here in Japan.
