The spirit of family

In Haiti we don't celebrate Thanksgiving as in America but we have something special.

The January 1st we have a special holiday. It is family day. We can really feel the spirit of love and happiness. We celebrate this holiday all the family together, after we visit our grand aunt, or others relatives.

In the menu we have a special " Giromon soup". Early at the morning we prepare the soup, then the family meet and we eat it. Most of the time the family went out to visit the other that couldn't be present. The whole day is part of the activity.
I like the idea of Thanksgiving It remind me my January first in my country. Both are similar ,the difference is the time. The thanksgiving is a special dinner and the other one is special lunch.

I enjoyed sharing this information with you guys.
Happy thanksgiving to everybody.
