THANKSGIVING!!

I'm sad that I was away again for Thanksgiving weekend. It's definitely one of my favorite holidays, behind Halloween of course. Our typical Thanksgiving weekend would involve a trip up to the cottage (usually the last of the year), a massive bonfire, some safe fun with shotguns (and skeets who usually fared well as we're typically quite crap shots!), then ridiculous amounts of food. I have fond memories of being relegated to the kitchen to eat with the other 'kids' resulting in food fights and general messiness. Then maybe a game of 'pitch dark hide-and-seek'. Terrifying really.
I miss it.
Here's a few photos to get you into the mood.








This year was a bit different. Myself and my two fellow Canucks waxed poetic about the amazing dinner we were going to have. In reality you'd be hard pressed to find a whole turkey at the last minute in Ireland. Then we thought we might buy all of the turkey parts we could find and have a pseudo frankenstein style affair. That idea was over the first whiskey. By the third Elephant and Castle chicken wings were close enough to a traditional turkey dinner for us. It was a nice meal though, and halfway through the burgers and wings we realized that Thanksgiving is more about being with your family and friends than what's going into your tummy.
HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!
