So, Thanksgiving was this Thursday and we find ourselves in the middle of the holiday season. I enjoy this time of the year in the US, the weather's nice (well, most of the time), the local scenery's great and there's more food than you can cope with (most of it pumpkin-based). There's the public holidays as well, which is nice.
The season pretty much starts after Labor Day in September, when people start putting up their Halloween decorations and ends in the New Year. As I've already written quite a lot about the holiday season (see here for last year's post about Thanksgiving), I thought I would do a pictorial summary of three cornerstones of the season to date:
1) Halloween
There's a whole lot of this.....
...and a fair amount of whatever this is too.....
2) Thanksgiving
Which, of course, is all about the food, and for which I was very thankful :-)
3) Sports
The holiday season isn't complete without some sporting events. We tend to favour the local Ohio University (American) football team - go Bobcats!
The added bonus with American sports is the entertainment - beats a pukka pie and weak tea...
I think that's a fairly comprehensive summary, don't you? :-)
Christmas to follow.....
