It was Thanksgiving.
Well, it would've been, had they been back home. The fact his family wasn't around sort of put a damper on the day, but he had decided that morning he'd make the best of it. He had another family now, right on the island, and Pam and he wanted to make things special for them.
He had gone to all the people they had decided to invite for a dinner while Pam worked busily in the kitchen. He had found everyone he wanted to find, and headed back upstairs to help Pam with what she was doing.
It was an all day effort, making sure everything was put together, but they eventually created quite a little picnic spread for who they invited. The main course ended up being the bird Dwight had given the two of them for their wedding present, and after it was prepared and cooked it actually turned out looking pretty damn edible. The sides were pretty average for a Thanksgiving meal - mashed potatoes, boiled vegetables, and a mango-mint sauce to use in place of cranberry sauce, as well as bread. Pam had spent extra time on dessert, making two kinds of pies - blueberry and strawberry - and Jim had put together a small fruit salad. Drinks were water, juice, coffee, and tea (still green, sadly), and it all was set up outside their hut on big blankets near their hammock, with some seats from the compound they borrowed on the sides in case anyone wanted to sit on them There was enough for anyone who showed up, and for something that was planned pretty last minute it turned out great.
All there was to do now was to wait for people to show up.
[Gathering post ftw. Tag Jim, Pam, each other - you know the drill.]
