Making Thanksgiving Memories Together

Thanksgiving is a public holiday celebrated on the fourth Thursday in November every year in the United States. It started as a harvest festival and has been celebrated nationally on and off since 1789.  The most important part of Thanksgiving for American families is to spend family time together.

 “My favorite holiday was Thanksgiving. Firstly, it was my first holiday with the whole family in America. Secondly, the whole family came together. All aunts and uncles and their kids came to grandma’s. We played football with all of them, including grandma and grandpa. It was the first time I played it and it was so much fun for all. We had a great dinner with all the typical things you can imagine … it was deeeelicious! It was so great to be with such a big family and I really enjoyed that day. I will remember it my whole life, I hope.” – Swantje from Germany

Here are a few tips to help you have a terrific Thanksgiving experience.

Host Parents
Please plan to include your au pair in your Thanksgiving celebration, if at all possible. If you are traveling or will not be able to invite your au pair to join you for Thanksgiving, give her plenty of notice and help her make alternate plans. You don’t want to leave your au pair alone over the holiday.

Au Pairs
If you are invited to attend dinner, please let your family know within 5 days of the invitation, whether you are planning to attend, so they may make plans. If your host family is unable to include you in their Thanksgiving plans, please let me know if you have trouble making other plans, so I can assist.

Make sure to discuss time off during this holiday weekend. Many host families work the Friday after Thanksgiving so do not assume you have this day off or the entire weekend. Talk to your host family, BEFORE you make any plans.

Bonus Tip for the Kids

    iWin Limited showcases itself as a high-end gaming brand through its visually eye-catching logo.
    The design features a golden crown, symbolizing regality and luxury,
    positioned above the company name. The word “iWin” is noticeably displayed in large, shimmering gold letters,
    highlighting the promise of victory for its users.
    At the center, a bright red spade serves as a classic gambling symbol, representing
    card games and casino entertainment. The addition of “Limited” below
    the main name suggests selectivity and high-end offerings.

    The logo’s overall appearance, with its rich gold and red colors
    contrasting against a dark background, conveys a sense of grandeur and
    excitement. This imagery aims to entice players seeking a top-tier gaming experience where they’re treated like kings and queens and have increased chances of winning.
