# 137 : une table : le tour du monde : Thanksgiving 2015!

I could not contain my joy, last evening, as I embraced long-time friends and welcomed the new ones around my table this year.

Amongst our well-planned schedules, it was as important to take the time to gather for Thanksgiving or FriendsGiving and talk about life, current events and world affairs.

For the last six years of hosting Thanksgiving at my place, my friends have always managed to bring either a scrumptious side dish, a traditional dessert and some delicious (French) wine.
