Thanksgiving Farewells

Although it is quite untraditional to celebrate the holidays of the New World at Hogwarts, the prefects agreed at our last meeting that it would be an adventure to host a feast comparable to that which you refer to as Thanksgiving. It was magnificent! Just picture it...autumn leaves of the most brilliant colors magically swirling in the Great Hall...sheaves of cornstalks, sporting jewel-like red, purple, lavender and gold ears of corn, ranged in front of the faculty table...spacious tepees sumptuously outfitted with furs and decorated with shells and feathers --in place of Hagrid's giant jack-o-lanterns...log fires emiting the faintest scent of woodsmoke...the tables laden, of course, with American colonial-era food: wild turkies, venison and rabbit stews, meat pies, apple pies, pumpkin pies, cornbread, cranberries...what a sight to behold! I do hope you all enjoyed your own festivities and a Happy Christmas to you all! Until we meet again...

Yours truly,
Hermione Granger

Actually...it's Chelsey, although I think a good majority had this figured out ages ago. Anyway, it's been great fun. The blogs were actually quite entertaining at times...I laughed a lot = ) Have a great day and I will see you all next week!
