Thanksgiving in Beijing

Our Thanksgiving celebration involved biking 3 miles in very chilly, dark conditions to a beautiful banquet hall at a university close to our church. It was a full Thanksgiving banquet with turkey, chicken, beef, mashed potatoes, rice, Chinese vegetables, pumpkin soup, and pumpkin tartlets.  Very good.  There were about 200 people celebrating. I can bet that our Thanksgiving table partners were more international than yours! There were four of us from the US, then 2 from Nigeria, and one each from Togo, Ecuador, and Kenya. Fun times. We are blessed.
