Can you believe that they don't celebrate Thanksgiving in Spain? I don't understand why Spain wouldn't celebrate the feast between British pilgrims and Native Americans. It's not like Spain lost American territory to Great Britain. They're just rude.
Not only do Spaniards not celebrate this holiday, but my professor gave me a test on Thanksgiving too! I've never had class on Thanksgiving, much less a test. Then, after the test, she shows a video of food. Now, she's just taunting me, because she knows that people from the USA are very passionate about food. We may not have many other passions, but we don't mess around when it comes to food. We're so passionate about food, that we expect free refills at every restaurant and movie theater. The first time I went to a move theater, I asked the guy at the concession if they give free refills. He stared at me with a very confused look. I tried to explain it the best I could in Spanish, but he just didn't understand. Then, one of my native Spanish speaker friends told me that there isn't even a word for refill. Excuse me while I quietly walk away crying. Someone finally answered my prayers late Thanksgiving, when we found a restaurant that serves Thanksgiving dinner. There was no way I was going to eat chicken on Thanksgiving. It would be offensive to the turkey Gods. Although, we weren't able to eat until 10:30 pm, but I kept telling my stomach that it would be worth it, and it was! Why? They gave us free refills! Even though I wasn't able to spend time with my family on Thanksgiving, I was still able to eat my traditional food. We all know that's the purpose of Thanksgiving anyway. If you're in Spain during Thanksgiving for some odd reason, either pack up and go home, or go to "La Gringa." It was actually better food than my mom makes. Sorry, mom. Don't forget that 90% of my blogs are sarcasm. Happy Thanksgiving! Miz Mak
