52 Weeks of Happiness - Week 37

It's Thanksgiving this week.
Being Canadian,
our Thanksgiving is in October.
But it tends to pass us by.
We're working
and we don't have family around.

But the American Thanksgiving,
well,
that's a little different.
Working for an American International School,
we get the 4 days off.
Woohoo!!!
Many teachers
are taking advantage of the long weekend
and going away.
With not having family nearby,
it's not the same.

However,
being an Expat
means you gain new family.
This past weekend,
some mates of ours
hosted a Thanksgiving
for their Lusaka family.

Now,
Thanksgiving marks the beginning
of the Christmas season.
And what better way
to bring in the season
then with my friend
Pimms.


It's nice to spend time
with our Lusaka family.




Susan even gave some of us
a little history lesson.



Happiness is spending time
with your Lusaka family.
