My new Tradition, which I invented this year, is to treat Thanksgiving like other favorite Jewish Holidays. Sukkot, Pesach (Passover), Hanukah, Rosh HaShannah all have several key components in common: Family and friends, food, and multiple nights for several celebrations. Passover, a seven-day holiday, is often referred to as Pesach I, Pesach II, Pesach III, etc. It is perfectly legitimate to attend a Passover Seder on one night with a friend, and host your own on another night.
I like that. Spreading the holiday over many nights and across many Venn Diagram Circles of Friends.
Thus, we held Thanksgiving III on Saturday, after joining extended family for Thanksgiving I in Seattle.
I plan to always hold Thanksgiving III on the Saturday following Thanksgiving I at Hopeful Farms. Mark your calendars now. You are all invited.
