There is a good-sized contingent of Canadian teachers at CMS, and they have for several years been hosting "The Real Thanksgiving" dinner, a y'all come affair where the central dishes are provided by Canucks, and others pitch in whatever they like. I was moved to tears by all these people coming together to help us celebrate our holiday far from hearth and home. Not that you'd want a hearth here, but you get my point.
It took some doing, but I managed to make a pumpkin pie from scratch. First time I've ever had sweat dripping from my chin over this task. I am proud to report that it lasted only minutes on the dessert table.
