I don't celebrate

In the US, we have a little holiday called "Thanksgiving" in which we gorge ourselves on food, watch football, and then go shopping in the middle of the night for 1/2 priced socks. Ok, I am exaggerating, but really, that is what I remember of this holiday as a child. As an adult I have made the concious decision to never take part in this holiday again. I just... don't do it. I do however, throw Thankschreaster parties for my friends, and I also hit the primary school up for some TINY PIES.
If you don't have 5-12 year old children, or don't live stateside, you probably don't understand the glorious glory of the tiny pie. But I can assure you, there is no greater pleasure in life than sitting with a bunch of kindergarteners consuming the worlds smallest pumpkin pie with a giant dollop of whipped cream on top.





My actual thanksgiving day, was spent watching movies in bed with my love. and then eating homemade Tortilla Soup by the fire. I would never want to spend it any other way!

Tiny Pies! Love it! Thanksgiving = being with your loved ones.

Those little pumpkin pies look so tasty! We never really use pumpkin in baking over here in New Zealand, but I have a feeling if I visited the states I would go crazy over pumpkin goodies. (Ok, I should probably admit that I can make my own, but am pretty lazy when it comes to puree-ing pumpkin, it's such a hassle!!)

You aren't the only one that doesn't celebrate! Somehow the meaning of Thanksgiving has gotten lost along the way.

I love the true meaning of Thanksgiving. I was rereading the George Washington proclamation of why they created Thanksgiving and it was beautiful and so powerful. Anyway, I love the little pies!!
