Friendsgiving
November 24, 2016
Thanksgiving. A time for Americans to give thanks for all that they were given. If it weren't for Calista, Reuben probably wouldn't celebrate it at all. But this day had become a good reminder to give thanks for all you have in life, regardless of location in the world. Since the two became good friends, Reuben would join Calista at her family's thanksgiving celebration except for the year or two they traveled back to the United States to spend the holiday with Calista's extended family. But since the two turned eighteen, they've been doing the celebrating separately due to the many familial issues that Calista has encountered with her family.
Every year, the night before Thanksgiving in America, Calista would come to Reuben's home and spend the entire evening preparing things for the next day. Turkey, stuffing, cranberry sauce, and all the fixings of a true, traditional Thanksgiving meal. The two would discuss their favorite things which happened that year and what they were thankful for. But over all, the two would just use this day as an excuse to hang out, eat, and talk about life.
The smell of baked pies filled the home for days to come, and everything just felt right. Especially since Yule was just around the corner and the two could go into December with high spirits.
Thanksgiving, or Friendsgiving as they called it, was just their magical little night. Most years the two would read tarot together and Calista would practice her magic with the help of Reuben. Obviously, they would do this any day of the year, but this day was festive and always brought joy to both of the friends.
