Escaping the family for Thanksgiving - need ideas!

DH and DS are avoiding the family at Thanksgiving. Everyone is pissed at each other - some aren't even speaking to each other. We live near Philly. Any ideas on what to do?

    I don't really understand what you are asking? You need an excuse to stay home with your family? Or are you planning to go and they stay home? Or you need to find someplace to have thanksgiving by yourselves without the family?

    If I am assuming correctly just tell yur extnded family you decided to have a quiet thanks giving at home, just the 3 of you

  • If you want to (or feel the need to) "get away," you can take a trip to somewhere like the Jersey Shore (Cape May), the Hamptons.  You could also go someplace like the Caribbean if you can take a couple of extra days to make it less hectic flying.

    A friend of mine and his wife went to Cape Cod one Thanksgiving.  They said it was really romantic.

  • I am also confused about what you mean. Are your DH and DS talking to each other? Why not have your own Thanksgiving? Go away? Volunteer somewhere. There are many places that host - go out to eat instead.
  • If they are pissed and not speaking are you sure they are even going to have Thanksgiving??

    I would tell them you want have Thanksgiving at home, just the 3 of you.

  • I agree with the previous post about Cape May, NJ. We would go a lot for the holiday's when I was younger. Also, New York City for the Macy's Day Parade was a great place to go for Thanksgiving.

    Good luck with your vacation/ get-a-way decision!
