Living as an expat, there are many people far from home on Thanksgiving. The thing is, when it's the real Thanksgiving, in October, I am usually away on business and the school my wife teaches at is on break (so most of the teachers are off traveling). The same thing happens at Christmas. Most of the teachers are off traveling.
As a result we celebrate Thanksmas. This year will be our third annual Thanksmas and we have grown to over 20 people who are desperate for a little turkey (tofurkey for the vegetarians), gravy and stuffing.
