Abigail in Sweden: Thanksgiving in Sweden

Thanksgiving. A classic American holiday, but seeing as how I am now living in Sweden, I had absolutely no idea how I was going to cook such a huge meal for my first host family. They were so incredibly helpful with the planning, the grocery shopping, and the cooking. The dinner for 8 people (My host family and my host family's grandparents) turned out wonderfully. The food turned out well, and I was amongst the most wonderful company. This year, Thanksgiving included a turkey, stuffing, salad, cranberry sauce, dinner rolls, green bean casserole,mashed potatoes, gravy, pumpkin pie, and pecan pie. I am so grateful for my Thanksgiving in Sweden this year. I was able to share traditions from my American family with my Swedish family and it was overall one of the best Thanksgivings I have ever had, and I have many great memories from that day.
