This is a blog post I (Joe) wrote on ZenKimchi.com in 2012 about the extreme lengths expats in Korea would go to for creating Thanksgiving in their adopted country. I exhume this post every year to remind myself and others that giving thanks goes beyond turkey, Macy’s parades, and football. The original is here.

Outstanding commentary of your American Thanksgiving traditions compared to your ExPat experiences in Korea over the years. You summarized the whole Thanksgiving by pointing out that this holiday is not about the Turkey. Thanksgiving is being thankful for family, friends, and freedom.
