Our first Thanksgiving in Hungary was very enjoyable! To start with, the Sunday before was spent with the church in Szolnok where they had their own Thanksgiving celebration.
Even though Hungary does not have a specific day of thanksgiving, the Christians in Szolnok had much they wished to thank God for. They even created crafts for table decor with Bible verses and the phrase "Adj hálát" written by on them, which translates to "Give thanks".

The day before Thanksgiving, our family enjoyed putting up the Christmas tree. And I know you're thinking "Couldn't you at least wait until after Thanksgiving?" (Hahaha, no!)
Thanksgiving day was a great turkey dinner which we enjoyed at home before going to spend the weekend in Szolnok to enjoy a meal with friends. It was a nice time as we reflected on all God's blessings to us this year.
Happy Thanksgiving!
