I've never experienced the hospitality of a US Thanksgiving, but, rather like the piece here, I did enjoy the Thanksgiving hospitality of a Canadian family (more than three decades ago) when a student there accompanied by my family. It was a joyous occasion, even though I did not quite take to the Pumpkin pie! More immediately, may I wish all a happy Thanksgiving, including my sister and her family in NY, as each and everyone gather and commune while breaking bread together. Enjoy
Thank you for this lovely essay! I am in the opposite situation from you—I’m an American living overseas (in Switzerland), and Thanksgiving is not a holiday here, obviously. (And even if I ate meat, turkeys have to be imported from France and cost about $150. For a small one. So no traditional Thanksgiving dinner for us!) But Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday too, and I plan to honor the day by remembering to be grateful for all the blessings in our lives, and by being a friendly and welcoming American and offering some pie to my neighbors. Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!
Just about an hour ago, I was describing sweetness of Thanksgiving to a friend who is new to this country in almost exactly the way that you have here. Happy Thanksgiving! I’m glad to be a subscriber. ☺️

Happy Thanksgiving Yascha Mounk. I just baked my first ever stuffing made from scratch!
