MIGUK** CHUSEOK

We Americans often refer to the Korean harvest festival(Chuseok) as "Korean Thanksgiving." In turn some Koreans refer to our Thanksgiving as Miguk(American) Chuseok.

We hosted the "neighborhood miguks" (fellow teachers at SCS) for a traditional Thanksgiving feast. We had roasted turkey($3.70 lb.!), mashed potatoes and gravy, green bean casserole, corn and carrots, two kinds of dressing, fruit salad, cranberry sauce, freshly baked rolls(2 kinds), and assorted desserts.

We began our meal by singing "Come, Ye Thankful People, Come" followed by prayer. After our meal, we eached shared something for which we are thankful. Merilee, our fourth grade teacher, had some after dinner games--nothing strenuous! By the way, her parents(seated beside and across from Elizabeth) are here visiting for a week.

We played games and chatted into the evening and had a very pleasant day.
