Last night we had 35 people over to our apt. for an American Thanksgiving dinner. It was legit- we cooked two huge turkeys, made our own stuffing, and found something similar to cranberry sauce. We had French friends over, as well as a Kiwi, a few Aussies, some German friends, etc. Someone even baked pumpkin pie! We had left a note on our neighbor's door below inviting her to the dinner, as well.
She's the one who freaks out if we play the guitar too loudly- so we felt like we should preempt her wrath. She didn't come up for food, but at least the cops weren't called.
A lot of my American friends would sneak out of the dinner party for 15 minutes or so to call their families and say hello, including Dom and me. Yay skype!
