No, Thanksgiving is not an Irish holiday, however, I celebrated it all day long here in Dublin!  The day started with a sinus headache, but that did not thwart my preparation of the green bean casserole.   Headache subsided just in time to head up the hill for lunch with some of my teammates.  I walked in the Laughlin's door to the familiar smells of turkey, gravy and stuffing.  Shortly after 2pm, we sat down to Thanksgiving dinner #1.  Delicious!

After heading to basketball at the community centre, I then took the bus downtown to the Mulholland's apartment.  They have this incredible place with an awesome view of Dublin. (check out the photos!) Thanksgiving dinner #2 was enjoyed around 8pm with several friends and a couple of new acquaintances.  More turkey, gravy, and stuffing...DELICIOUSNESS.

Following dinner, several of us sat down to enjoy the Peanuts Thanksgiving Special.  I hadn't seen the Peanuts in years.  If the writers  were historically accurate, I actually learned a couple of things :) Fun and educational!

I added some new photos from the day...click the photo tab and enjoy!

Hey Stephanie,

Glad you had a traditional "American" Thanksgiving in Ireland! Out of curiosity, what is the statue in front of the lit Christmas tree (the view from your friend's place)? It looks like someone with their arms up...I would hope that is a statue or that is one tired person!!! (ha!)

Look so wonderful! I'm proud of your creativity with the onion rings. We didn't have any on our Thanksgiving table, so we made up for it tonight. :)
