This year, on November 22, I had my first Thanksgiving Day. Actually we had one in Italy when my American sister was there, but it was not a typical Thanksgiving. First of all, because we were in Italy and second because we didn’t even have a turkey. Instead we had two little chickens that my mom passed off as dwarves turkeys.
Also my Thanksgiving Day in the US wasn’t exactly traditional. I spent the first part of the day in Oakland, helping my family to get ready for the dinner and setting up the restroom in a way that could host a lot of people. The second half of the day, the “eating part”, I was in Stockton with my sister, her brother and her sister in low. My sister and I were late so when we arrived, her brother, Alex, had already cooked almost everything. The only thing that we could do was to do the appetizers. The dinner was very quiet and intimate, without the family dramas that are supposed to happen on the Holiday days.
Alex spoiled us by doing everything we asked him: he coked, he set the table, he cleaned everything after dinner and let us watching all the movies that we wanted.
We watched a movie called “Home for Holidays”, with a very dysfunctional family and many funny and awkward situations.
On Friday, we didn’t go shopping at 4 for the big sales and we preferred to sleep until 11, we spent all day eating leftovers and using the computer.
In the evening we went to a hokey game between Thunder of Stockton and Ace from Alaska.
Alex works for the team so he gave us two cute hats and big foam rubber hands. Between the second and the third time there was a game called “Chuck the puck”. The audience had to throw foam puck into the ring and to try to reach the target at the center of the ring. After that game, my sister and I, with many little children, went into the ring to collect the pucks and clean the ring before the game restarted. I was a little scared and I felt very awkward because we were in front of the audience, sliding and everybody could stare at us, but it was fun!
On Saturday morning we went shopping and I finally bought speakers for my i-pod, so I can listen to the loud music. After the shopping we came back to Oakland and I spent the last two free days at home with my dog…I was very bored and a little sad. It’s weird but I was very happy to come back school!
