Thanksgiving Plans
Now that Thanksgiving is less than a month away (and I'm bored at work), what are your Thanksgiving plans now that your married? Have they changed any? Are you and DH going to create any new Thanksgiving traditions?
Re: Thanksgiving Plans
Last year, H's parents and us went to my family's place for Thanksgiving. This year, my family is overseas, so we went to H's parents' house for (Canadian) Thanksgiving.
I would like to host an American Thanksgiving dinner for a few friends this year.
We're going to do the same thing we've been doing since we started dating, which is alternate holidays.
This year's lineup is his family's Thanksgiving which is taking place at his sister's this year. We'll be driving the 4.5 hours out to stay a couple nights at her farm.
My mom is hosting a Thanksgiving desserts thing for just our immediate family Sunday night since this is the year when all of us kids are with our S/Os' families.
I have two sisters that live out of town, and usually at least one of them will come in town for Thanksgiving, along with their husband(s) and kids. This year for the first time I can remember, neither one of them will be in town. H's parents have invited my parents and my sister (that lives in town) to join them for Thanksgiving dinner. This is wonderful for H and I, because we get to do Thanksgiving with BOTH of our families!
Next year (and the years following), when one or both of my sisters will be in town, this will not work because they wouldn't want to go over to H's parents (there's a weird family dynamic that I can't explain). And my parents would be happy to host H's parents at their house, but H's brother comes in town every year and he is also weird about going elsewhere for Thanksgiving. So this is the first, and possibly only, year (for awhile at least) that we will be able to do Thanksgiving all together.

Honestly I have no idea. Last year we were finally able to coordinate it and his parents had an earlier dinner and then we went to my family's dinner after.
I hope it works out that perfectly this year but I don't have any control on dinner times since I don't host them.
I would hate for us to have to pick a family because I will always pick mine. haha
