It's the great turkey, Charlie Brown!


A Japanese acquaintance asked if I celebrated Halloween, and if that was with friends or family. He looked concerned when I said it was usually a friend holiday, so I asked if and how he celebrated.

"With family, of course."

And how?
"We gather together and eat a delicious dinner with many dishes."
Like...?
"Potatos, beans, anything, but most important is a turkey. Or a chicken.Any bird, as long as it is cooked--" he circled his arms and struggled for the word.
"Whole?"
"Yes!"
Hm. And then...?

"That's all. Is it as same as your country?"

I'm waiting patiently for the post containing the little outfits in which they dress the turkey.
