American Holidays


Ok, I have been absent for a bit, but I just had to share this all with you:


One thing is to be able to buy ingredients and such to try and replicate a traditional American holiday such as Thanksgiving... another is to be marketed to directly...when there is no such celebration in Spain at all!!!


I suppose I will give it about 3-5 years and we will start to see Spanish adaptations of Thanksgiving (Día de Acción de Gracias). Afterall, they are beginning to embrace Halloween even if it isn't socially accepted in all circles... and Santa Claus (Papá Noel) has found his place on the store shelves between the Belénes (Nativity scenes) and Reyes Magos (Three Kings).


Who knows??
