Its thanksgiving in America and some of the Cohen family has gathered to commence in what has become "The Cohen Family Thanks Giving Conversation" which is also known as; "The Annual Strangest Thanksgiving conversation in America". This is the time of year that we Cohens sit down and discuss all the things that normal families would never imagine could be a conversation let alone a Thanksgiving conversation. We pride ourselves in out topic variety and rarity while the entire time laughing hysterically at things that really shouldn't be funny. But that us for you and, to top it all off we end the night by eating another Turkey. But this time its made of sugar and cake... the entire process is part rocket science and part luck. Trying to get all the pieces together and to not eat everything is a challenge! Here is the construction process!
I had the opprotunity to join my crazy family via Skype, and the crazy-ness has already begun. I wish I were there to join in with the Dinner conversation, but I will have to wait for next year to do so!
With it being Thanksgiving I want to say how thankful I am to have the opportunity to be living here in the Netherlands and to have such amazing friends, without whom I would be nowhere and would still be speaking English. To also have the great fortune of living with a host family whom are not strangers and instead are close friends of our family, I probably wouldn't be in Hoorn if it wasn't for them, and I would have been able to speak even less Nederlands on the first day of school if I hadn't be pushed by Tineke and Jan. So another great thank you to them!
With that I bid you all a good thanksgiving, and good Tryptophan induced sleep!
