It was November 24, ten years ago. We were enjoying our
last lovely autumn in North Yorkshire. Christmas decorations and lights had
been up for several weeks already; a very good thing, as sunset was falling
earlier every afternoon. It was one of John’s days off. Instead of running
errands, we decided to spend the day in York – our very favorite place –
doing some of our favorite things. We parked near the Viking Museum and
wandered through Marks and Spencer on our way to the Shambles. We hiked the city wall. We visited the
Disney Store and Bettys, and a Christmassy nutcracker
shop. Tea time found us at Nando’s, munching on pita wedges with hummus, olives
and Peri-Peri chicken. We were just wondering if we’d left room for dessert
when it dawned on us it was Thursday. We’d completely forgotten it was
Thanksgiving, and still managed to have the best Thanksgiving ever. Here’s wishing
you a great Thanksgiving, too.
