This is terrific. Every Thanksgiving and Christmas my Chinese immigrant mom invites a bunch of international students to join our family for the holidays. They always enjoy having a parental figure dote on them and stuff them full of food, especially since most of them haven't gone home or seen their family in months; possibly years. So great to see a professor doing the same thing for their students.
About 4 years ago my professor/mentor sent me a message like this. I've been having Thanksgiving dinner and after-dinner games with his family ever since. I also graduated 2 years ago. Stuff like this can let an adult without family, suddenly have a family again.
