There are only very few Americans in H2O, yet American Thanksgiving has become the biggest and most important H2O-event of the year. Since we don't do potluck food but "the real deal" we only can welcome 55 guests at our H2O-center. Usually there are always some new guests, some "Thanksgiving-only" and of course committed H2O'ers. We could easily get together a group twice that size, but we want it to keep a family atmosphere, especielly for new guests. The highlight of the evening is, next to the food, our thanksgiving round. Our whole point with Thanksgiving is making gratitude a spiritual exercise in times of overflowing properity, when it comes much more easy to people to whine and grumble than to give thanks. So everyone is supposed to introduce him- or herself and pick something you are very grateful for today. A very much appreciated exercise.
We usually finish with an open mic time where people can sing, play, or show something. Once the ice is broken and one has dared to take the mic it's hard to stop them again.
We are grateful for the Meisels who introduced that wonderful tradition to H2O years ago.
I did not take many pics but you find a few on the German post. Enjoy!
