Celebrating Thanksgiving outside the US is a very different experience.
Pro: You have a great reason to invite friends and neighbors for an American meal.
Con: Can't find Libby's 100% pumpkin purée, so have to start from scratch with a pumpkin from the market.
Pro: You discover pumpkin pie with fresh pumpkin can be even better than with Libby's.
Con: Being away from family is hard.
Pro: Skype!
Con: Explaining Thanksgiving in another language can be a challenge. (Tip: before attempting to do so, look up the keywords such as Pilgrim, harvest and feast.)
Pro: Even though it's not a French holiday, people still wish you a 'Appee Fanksgiveen!'
