Every year, Thanksgiving is celebrated on the fourth Thursday of November. So this year, Thanksgiving falls on November 24th. And therein lies my conundrum. November 24th in New Zealand is actually November 23rd at home. And given the fact that Thanksgiving is an American holiday, should I celebrate it on American time? Or should I strictly adhere to the fourth Thursday formula?
Of course, as of right now this is all a moot point anyway because I cannot seem to find a turkey anywhere in this entire country—a national tragedy that people, thus far, do not seem to comprehend. My mom assures me that a chicken would be almost the same, but I'm not convinced. And who knows if cranberries have made it this far? I'm not going to hold my breath.
Will it all end up being a depressing disaster regardless of the date? I'll keep you posted.
