"Holidays with the Host Family" by Veronica Tis

This last few months of my experience abroad have been so memorable and enjoyable. I felt right at home with a Thanksgiving dinner (that might beat US mashed potatoes and cranberry casserole), and a lovely evening of setting up not one, but TWO Christmas trees. My whole family is definitely in the holiday spirit, and I couldn’t be more thankful.
